Heated seats anyone?

Just found a 96 in Vancouver for sale with HEATED SEATS! Never saw one that actually had them.

Did you actually see the car though, or just going from the advert?

When I looked at the Ebony, the ad said "heated, power seats" but of course, no heat.

Is there a button on the dash for it? I'd like to see a picture of that. Not because of any skepticism, just out of pure curiosity.

Cool, er, I mean, hot!

Now that I have heaters in my Forester, it's like cruise control-can't live w/o it. I even used them last week in June in NY!

And the seller confirmed they were heated.

My 96 has them. They don't work nearly as well as the seat heaters in my Audi though.

I bought heated seats from Mike, but only got the heaters. I have been looking for the switches for mine. He has not been able to find them. If they are available, I am interested. Let me know. Thanks

So that's what went in that spot. Thanks Bipa! In my 94 LSi is was a change holder. The heated seats in my Dad's new Buick LeSabre Custom really kick butt. Yes, I told him the Buick is an old people car, and he replied, that's fine, I'm old. He was a diehard Oldsmobile man before GM screwed up and killed the division. Now they are trying to kill the whole corporation.
