heated seats?

longassname · #1 04-12-2003, 12:20 AM

I've been doing a lot of looking at parts schematics recently and noticed heaters for the front seats. I have a 94 lsi and if the seats are heated i sure don't know where the button is. This was an option i take it? Where do they put the button? I want heated seats!

look at the pretty svx http://www.emerystudios.com/images/svxathome.jpg

Heated seats are not offered in the US. The wiring is there on both sides of the seats for all controls but the butt warmers pads are not included in the US market SVXes.

Canadians on the other hand had them.

The heated button are where your coin holder is! If you don't where that is, it is right of where you place the key to start your car

So the controls go on the sides of the seats? I'm seriously interested in this retrofit but the schematics for the seats are so hard to read. Were talking heating element, control switch, and new plastic trim panel with hole for control switch?

instead of my coin holder? So now we're talking element and control but no new trim parts?

Well, yeah. But if he just did a search, he wouldn't get to meet such friendly, helpful people.

I thought we were here to help people and enjoy each others company!

Well, some of us are any way.

At least i got the info, so I'm not going to complain.

are your seats leather or cloth? Because, heated seats wont do jack squat if you have cloth seats. It'd be a waste of cash. Same thing goes for that "Auto Stick" gimmick you see now-adays. It doesnt do anything. Now if there was a way to be able to convert our svx's to be powered by methane. I'm all for it.

If by "Auto Stick" you mean Tiptronic, I'd tend to agree. But only because you have to remove your hand from the steering wheel to use it. If it were like the paddle shifters in the 555, or even the buttons in the Celica GT, then I'd be all for it. Those things are way too much fun.

If we did searches instead of posting we really wouldn't have anything to talk about as I'm pretty sure its all been discussed before. Besides are you saying you dn't like talking about the SVX?
