Only on the canadian ones. You can retro fit it pretty easily, you just need to find two heating pads out of an older legacy, take the leather off your current seats, set the heating pads there, then install the switch on your dash (It takes up the place where your coin holder is, so you gain heated seats but then lack a coin holder).

No kidding? That's cool - I didn't know that. I was wondering what was there if the coinholder wasn't.

When I got an OBD-II diag tool for my wife's Legacy, I searched under the dash for a good ten minutes before I gave up and sat in the seat for a break. I had forgotten about looking for the connector and was thinking about other things when I idly flipped open a little door (right on the front of the dash) thinking, 'hey, what's this?'

Argh...

This is what the heated seat buttons look like:

Here is a diagram of the pins:

Here is a cross section of the seat showing where the heaters go:

This is what the heat elements look like:

Here is an example of a legacy seat that has heaters. I used ones from a 96 outback wagon.
