Adding OEM seat heaters

[areinert]

Experts....please help

I recently purchased a 2001 Boxster. With help from you guys I found the kit I needed to add rear speakers and when I removed the radio you guys were there for me with the radio code.

I would like to install factory seat heaters. I found the switches on ebay and now need to find a kit for everything else. I saw the web page of the gentlemen who has the step by step do it yourself, but I was hoping someone knew of a OEM kit I could purchase like the rear speaker kit.

I have spoken with local shops that install aftermarket seat warmers and none of them will use the factory switches I purchased. They are confused by the connectors on the bottom of the switches.

I could use some help on a kit, and a wiring diagram for the switches. I really would like to keep my car stock. I also considered buying new seats, especially ones with the seat warmer and driver memory, but I assume I would still have wiring to do since each boxster comes with a harness specific to the options purchased.

Thanks!

I haven't done it, but Maxspeed has a kit to add them.

I've been using a very inexpensive heated seat cushion that plugs into the cigarette lighter socket. Works like a champ and cost less than $20. I've done a bunch of driving in the 40's and 50's with the top down and love the comfort. I wish I had factory heated seats but figure I'd be out several hundred dollars to get an upholstery shop to do the work, not couting the hassle of dropping off and recovering the car.
