Heated seats for cars - it should be warm in winter! Do-it-yourself seat heating: consider a clear example Homemade seat heating.

How newer car, the more conditions have been created for more comfortable control. If in older cars heated car seats are more of a luxury, then for new vehicles this function is included in the factory equipment. You can learn more about the types of heating systems and making such a device with your own hands from this material.

Types of heating elements

The domestic market today offers a huge selection of various devices and devices to increase the comfort of machine control. And seat heating in this case is no exception. First, let's look at the types of systems.

Cases and capes

The heated seat cover can be made in the form of a cover. It should be noted that this version of heating systems is characterized by ease of installation, as well as affordable price. Installing heated seats in this case comes down to installing a cape and connecting it to the cigarette lighter.

It should be noted that a heated cape for a car is an option that has many disadvantages:

• wires that will constantly get tangled;
• too much low level electrical protection and fire safety;
• heating of the entire area of ​​the cape will be uneven;
• car covers do not always fit successfully into the interior of the car;
• heating the rear seats will be impossible (video author - Dmitry Dimyanov).

It should also be noted that installing seat heating in this case requires free space. And since today this socket is universal, since DVRs, radar detectors, GPS navigators and other devices can be powered from it, installing the system will be problematic. You can use a splitter, but due to the large number of consumers, the safety elements may also fail.

Built-in models

If you decide to install heated seats in your car and want to use a built-in type, then you need to take into account that this method is difficult to install. However, you can still install an embedded system yourself.

It should also be noted that built-in heated front seats have certain advantages:

• you can equip not only the front but also the rear seats with a heater;
• such a system should be installed under the seat trim, and the wiring should be laid under the interior upholstery;
• to activate the system, use the seat heating button, and the system itself is connected to the on-board network, accordingly, the cigarette lighter socket will be free;
• the use of such a system will not affect the interior of the cabin (author - Ilya Strekalovsky).

Selection of heating elements

The choice of systems for installation in the seat structure is quite large; there are also many manufacturers - from Germany, China, Taiwan and even Russia. Of course, each model has its own design features and differs in production quality, as well as cost. According to many car enthusiasts, German-made products are characterized by a high price, but they are more reliable and versatile. Such heaters are additionally equipped with overheating protection and can have several operating modes.

Regarding products Russian production, then in terms of quality it is almost not inferior to foreign analogues. Russian heaters use reinforced wire or carbon fiber, and such systems include overheating protection, as well as a control device. Of course, in terms of price, Chinese-made systems are the most popular, but as practice shows, this is their only advantage. In systems manufactured in China, switch buttons often break, short circuits occur, etc.

Instructions for making stationary heating

How to make heated seats with your own hands and how to connect the system you have made? It is quite possible to build such a device at home; for this you will need nichrome wire and fabric. The wire itself can be sewn into a chair or into fabric; we will consider the second option.

1. So, you will need three meters of wire; this piece should be divided into two equal parts. One one and a half meter piece will be needed for the seat itself, and the second for the back.
2. The wire should be sewn to a piece of fabric; any material can be used for this. To make heating more efficient, you need to sew the wire in a zigzag manner.
3. After this, the wire can be connected directly to the battery - it should heat up slowly and after a few minutes the chair will be warm.

The connection diagram for seat heating itself is quite simple, and most importantly, inexpensive to implement. To connect, it is recommended to use special buttons with thermostats, this will allow you to adjust the degree of heating if necessary. Otherwise, overheating may cause the seat to catch fire.

Instructions for manufacturing built-in heated rear seats

To build a built-in option, you will need a heating element kit:

1. First you need to disassemble the seats - you need to make room for laying heating mats.
2. The canvas with the heating system is laid on the seat foam, and here you need to mark the dimensional contours. In accordance with the marked lines, the canvas must be fixed; to do this, use double-sided tape or instant glue. If the kit included a temperature sensor, then it should also be mounted on the foam rubber.
3. When fixing the mats, it is necessary to take into account that the wiring from them on the driver's seat should go on the right, and on the passenger's seat - on the left.
4. Next, you can install the seat upholstery; you can lay a layer of foam rubber on top of the heating fabric. After this, the chairs are assembled - the covering is put on, all the fasteners, headrests, etc. are attached. Please note that the wiring from the mats should not be stretched; it is recommended to leave a small margin so that if you need to move the chair, you do not have to repair the heated seats.
5. After this, the system is connected; for this you will need a diagram, which is included in the instructions for the heating fabric. If you do not know how to properly connect the system, it is better to contact an electrician.

Heated seats for cars is a useful and necessary option, especially in winter time. Many modern models are already equipped with this option from the factory, for which you have to pay extra when choosing a configuration. But if there is no such function in the car, then you can connect it yourself. What type of heating should I choose and how should I connect it correctly?

1 Types of seat heating - choose a convenient option

Today, the market offers a large number of universal solutions for equipping car seats with a heating function yourself. Heating units vary in configuration and installation method; Some of them can be installed quickly by simply connecting the heater to the cigarette lighter socket, others require more complex installation and connection to the on-board network. Thus, heated seats can differ in the heating method (heating base), which is either in the form of filaments or carbon fiber. In the first case, heating is considered less reliable, since the threads tend to break often, and their repair and replacement is a rather painstaking task (especially on VAZ models).

In addition, the heating method differs depending on the application. Either the entire seat is heated, or only the back and lumbar area. At the same time, a high-quality and universal heating should have several available operating modes and automatically maintain the temperature at the required level (as in a standard heater). As for the types, a distinction is made between external (clip-on) heating elements or internal ones (built into the seat structure). In the first case, installation is simpler - the cape is fixed over the seat with straps and plugged into the cigarette lighter.

To install heating inside the seat, you will have to remove the trim and the seats themselves, but this installation method is considered more effective and functional.

On most cars with a factory option, heated seats are made in the form of filaments of various sizes (depending on the specific car model). The heaters have a built-in thermostat (counter) with automatic operation, which is set to a certain range of operating temperatures.

The standard heating activation button, as a rule, has a self-locking function. That is, when you press the button, the heating power supply with a built-in relay supplies contacts to this relay, which transmits current to the heating elements (incandescent filaments) and at the same time back to the relay winding (the circuit is closed). If you turn off the car's ignition, the circuit opens and the threads remain de-energized; when you turn on the ignition again, the heater will not work until it is activated with a button.

2 Installing universal heating in a car with your own hands

The choice of seat heating can be opted for the standard version (removed from another car model), or you can take universal kits, for example, Teplodom, Winter, etc., of which there are a huge variety on the market. The connection of such kits is almost identical, the differences arise only in design features seats on various car models. Thus, installation work is carried out in two stages - installation of heating elements (threads, capes, fasteners, etc.) and correct connection electrical contacts.

If you chose a heater on top of the seats, then there will be no problems with installation. All you need to do is place the heating cover on the seat, secure it with the included straps and connect the wires to the cigarette lighter socket on the instrument panel. For aesthetics, the wires can be hidden under the trim or directly under the seat. When purchasing outdoor heating kits you will find detailed instructions on installation.

If heating is built inside the seat or under the trim for ease of work, it is better to remove the chairs. On different models For cars, the removal procedure varies, but the principle is the same almost everywhere (especially for models of the VAZ family). To remove front seat with your own hands you need:

1. Move the seat forward as far as possible and remove the torsion bars,
2. Move the seat as far back as possible and unscrew several fastening nuts,
3. Using a special key, unscrew two bolts of the front and rear fastenings and remove the seat from the grooves,
4. If equipped with electronic drivetrain or airbags, the connectors under the seat must be disconnected.

After removing the seat, you must carefully remove the trim. Depending on the type of cladding, removal has its own nuances. If the covering is fabric, it can be easily lifted from the front to the top, and the work should be carried out as carefully as possible. If any defects are detected (for example, deformation of foam rubber), at this stage you can glue or replace the damaged elements.

However, removal will not be easy on all car models. Let us look in detail at how to remove the casing and glue the heating element using an example. Japanese cars(Mazda, Toyota, Nissan).

When the chair is completely removed, you need to turn it on its side and remove the handles (or buttons) for adjusting the tilt and rotation of the backrest. Next, you need to remove the plastic plugs and unscrew two or three fastening bolts. After this, the seat should be turned upside down and the fastenings at the bottom should be unscrewed. The casing itself is secured with steel rings around the perimeter; they can be pryed off with a screwdriver or removed in another way, but be careful, as they may be required when installing the casing back. If the rings are damaged, plastic clamps can be used.

As the steel rings are removed, the casing is carefully moved from top to bottom (from the base to the back) to the area required for installing the heating element. Next, first try on the heating cape around the perimeter. If you use a standard heating kit, it will match in size without any problems; if you purchase a universal kit, it is recommended to measure all dimensions in advance so that the heater does not stick out and hinder comfort. Remove the adhesive backing of the heating element, straighten the casing and tighten the clamps. Now you can start connecting contacts for proper operation heating

3 Connecting the heating and buttons to the car’s electrical system

Before connecting all the wires, they must be routed under the seat trim (can be routed under the foam base). One wire is led out to the area of ​​the armrest or central tunnel; if button illumination is also provided, then there will be two wires; the rest are carried out to the car’s diagnostic block (location depending on the car model). Before wiring the contacts, it is necessary to cut holes for the heating adjustment button (if standard holes are not provided). After drilling, install the buttons, not forgetting to install fuses on the contacts.

The wires are connected via three 12-volt circuits; the corresponding wire can be found in the fuse box, the backlight circuit (in the same place) and the ignition (on some universal models, the connection is made to the cigarette lighter connector without the need to connect a button). You can check how the heater works using a multimeter. As a rule, universal heaters come complete with detailed electronic circuit, which can be followed during installation. When connecting the standard heating, the vehicle's electrical diagram can be found in the operating instructions.

After connecting, additionally insulate the contacts (you can use electrical tape or corrugation). To prevent the wires from sagging, you can secure them with clamps to the base of the front seats. Next, you can check the connection. If everything is correct, the heating will be activated only when the ignition is on (otherwise, check all contacts again, otherwise the battery will be discharged within a day).

Every time the winter cold again reminds us of additional insulation. For even the ancient people bequeathed to keep their feet warm. But heated seats are not included basic equipment many cars. You'll have to be seriously confused. There are two options: buy this “additional comfort” or make heated car seats yourself. A survey of our closest friends - notorious motorists - shows: the second is more reliable. Purchased heaters are expensive and often break down.

Do it once: think about it and get mentally ready!

Before we begin the list of materials, we decide on what we already have. Here we have three options:

• remake a ready-made but broken heating system;
• make from scratch;
• A costly and troublesome way is to make a heating built into the seat.

It’s much easier with a ready-made rug. There is no need to think about dense thermal insulating fabrics, look for them and sew them on a machine. Everything has already been thought out. All that remains is to replace the heating element.

The heating element built into the seat is always with you in the car. You can display a button on the panel and pretend that it happened. Difficulties sometimes arise with the analysis of the seat itself. And if its bottom is pliable, then the back is much more difficult to disassemble. But he still understands it!

We will take the second option as a basis. It is on its basis that work is built in all cases. Knowing the theory, you can cope with more difficult options.

Do Two: Let's go shopping!

List of materials:

1. Nichrome wire diameter 0.5 mm – 10 meters.
2. The block is thicker.
3. 2 nails.
4. Old jeans.
5. Scissors.
6. Pencil.
7. Sewing machine.
8. Button.
9. The wire.
10. Plug for car cigarette lighter.
11. Connectors.
12. Heat reflector.

Do Three: let's get started!

• Cut out 2 rectangles from old unwanted jeans. They do not necessarily cover the seat surface.
• On one of them we draw how the heating wire will pass: in zigzags or waves. It is better to choose zigzags. This is easier to draw and bend. Although, who cares...

And now our fabric has become noticeably more interesting than before!

Tip: remember the popular television program about remodeling an apartment. Our principle is the same as with the installation of “warm floors”.

• Now the nichrome wire will lie directly according to the drawing.
• First you need to fold it in a zigzag. The fastest way to do this is with a block and nails.
• Drive two nails into a wooden block at a distance of 40 mm.
• Now we consistently and monotonously wind the wire between the nails in a figure eight pattern. Just enough turns to cover the entire pattern.
• Transfer the wire zigzags to the fabric.
• Using a machine we sew each zigzag 2 times. Above and below. The better we fix this design, the safer it will be to use. Attention: if the wires touch somewhere, there will be a short circuit!
• We close our workpiece on top with the second piece of jeans. We sew, leaving a hole for the wires to exit.
• You can sew a thermal reflector on the bottom. This will protect the seat from excessive overheating.
• On top, the most used place, it is better to line it with foam rubber and another layer of thick fabric. This is done so as not to accidentally tear the heating element.
• We finish around the perimeter with a few more lines on the sewing machine.
• Using a connector, we bring the wire through the “window” in the fabric.

We are testing. We need a 12 Volt power supply direct current, the same as it will be in the car. You can use your computer's power supply.

Manufacturers now offer drivers many car configuration options. You can choose in advance which useful options your car will have. The most popular options among domestic car enthusiasts are the following:

• air conditioner,
• electric windows.

Also, quite often cars are equipped with acoustic systems. But not everything is as simple as it might seem at first glance. The fact is that most music lovers will prefer to choose a system to suit their taste rather than a budget factory option. Although it is worth recognizing that premium cars are equipped with more than good Acustic systems.

But today we will not talk about them, but about such an option as heated seats. Every car owner, who has sat in a heated car at least once, will want such an accessory for his car.

Attention! It usually takes no more than thirty seconds for a good heating system to make you feel like you're somewhere in the tropics.

Heated seats are of particular relevance for people suffering from various back and cervical spine. Sometimes it is enough to sit in a heated seat for 20 minutes and all the pain goes away.

Unfortunately, not all cars still have the option of installing heated seats upon purchase. Typically, such a restriction applies to middle and budget class cars. Moreover, even if available in the price list, this option is very expensive.

It is not surprising that every year more and more drivers decide to install heated seats themselves. This process is quite expensive, but not particularly difficult. Every motorist can do it.

Heating types

It’s worth noting right away that in order to have warm seats in winter it is not necessary to open the trim and connect it yourself electrical diagram heating There are alternatives to avoid this. Of course, despite the advantages, this option is not without its drawbacks.

Special capes

This type of seat heating does not require any complicated installation. Just throw a cover over the chair and you will provide yourself with warmth throughout the winter. At least that's what the concept looks like at first glance.

In addition to covers on the market, you can also find special heated covers for car seats. They are much more comfortable, as they have better fixation and will not slip on sharp turns.

Attention! Capes and covers have special heating elements that provide warmth to the driver.

In addition to ease of installation, the advantages of this type of seat heating, which anyone can install with their own hands, include low cost. Unfortunately, it was not possible to do without shortcomings. The most important thing is extremely low quality the entire structure.

If you search the Internet, you can find more than one case where the cape ignited directly under the driver. Moreover, such devices are characterized by uneven heating. In some areas the temperature rises to 40 degrees.

Another significant drawback of a cape or cover is the connection method. To activate this heated seats, you need to use the cigarette lighter socket. Considering that the average driver has a navigator, smartphone, video recorder, and so on in his car, this port is becoming scarce.

Attention! Even a splitter is not able to help in such a situation. The fact is that this type of seat heating consumes too much electricity and the fuse simply does not hold up.

Also, do not forget about the wires that will definitely appear in the cabin as a result of purchasing a cape or cover. Cables can create an emergency situation, because at critical moments it is very easy to get tangled in them.

Built-in heating

Of course, to install built-in heated seats you will need to spend much more time. However, if you follow the instructions, the time required for this operation can be significantly reduced.

The main advantages of built-in seat heating include:

1. Possibility of simultaneous heating of both front and rear seats.
2. All wires are hidden under the interior trim, so you won’t get tangled in them.
3. The system is connected to the vehicle's electrical wiring. Because of this, the cigarette lighter socket will be free. In addition, the on-board network can easily cope with such a load.
4. Since heating is implemented inside the seats, the original interior interior is preserved.

As you can see, despite some complexity in installation, built-in seat heating has a number of significant advantages that cannot be ignored.

Choosing a kit

Before you begin installing heated seats, you need to decide on the kit you need. The most popular products now are from German, Russian and Chinese brands.

Naturally, seat heating kits from leading German companies are considered the best in quality. But they also have a corresponding price. Of course, such systems are installed on both the front and rear seats.

High-quality kits should have at least several degrees of protection. Also, high-quality seat heating systems usually have more than one operating mode.

It is worth noting that among Russian companies There are brands that provide high-quality and relatively inexpensive products. Suffice it to recall such giants as Avtoterm and Teplodom. Seat heating systems from these companies have protection, as well as high-quality heating elements. For greater reliability, they use reinforced cable. They also have an overheat protection function that turns off the device when a critical temperature is reached.

Most low price traditionally have heated seats from China. Unfortunately, in most cases, products from this country cannot boast of either a reliable design or a good protection system. There are, of course, exceptions, but their price is not much lower than their German counterparts.

When choosing a seat heating system, it is better to immediately buy a high-quality kit, since devices with a low price may have such defects as:

• failure of the control button,
• wiring burnout,
• short circuits,
• uneven heating.

Considering the time that you will have to spend on installation, it is better to immediately buy a high-quality kit so as not to waste your energy on repairs.

Do-it-yourself heating

With some knowledge of electrical engineering, you can do heated seats yourself. However, the reliability and safety of such a design will not be very high.

To make heated seats with your own hands, take nichrome wire with a diameter of half a centimeter. Form four spirals. To do this, use a wooden beam with two hammered nails at a distance of 4 cm.

Important! Curl in a figure eight.

Take a thick denim fabric and connect all the spirals on it in a parallel way. The power source must have a power of at least 12 V. The final calculated power will be 40 W. Also, don’t forget to install a relay in your DIY heated seats.

Installation

Preparation

Any worthwhile endeavor begins with preparation. After you have chosen and purchased a kit for yourself, you need to worry about selecting the tools and materials that suit your task. To install heated car seats with your own hands you will need:

• plastic clamps,
• multimeter,
• Screwdriver Set,
• spanners different sizes,
• scissors,
• electrical tape and double-sided tape,
• heat shrink tubes,
• marker,
• pliers,
• glue,
• soldering iron

This is the standard set. Simply put, you will not be able to do without these tools during installation. But you must take into account that there are systems of varying complexity. Moreover, a lot depends on the basic package. Very often, cheap kits do not have the wires or fuse required for installation. In this case, you will have to purchase them yourself.

Attention! For wiring, it is best to use stranded wire with a cross-section of 2.5 mm2.

Installation

Before proceeding directly to installation, calculate in advance where you will install the control buttons. Also select the appropriate type of fastening. After choosing a suitable location for installing the manipulators, simply follow these instructions:

1. Remove the chairs and disassemble them. You need to remove the headrest and also unfasten all the plastic elements.
2. Remove the seat trim. Usually it is fixed at the very bottom using metal rings. You can do without complete removal, the main thing is that you can easily install the heating elements.
3. Remove the trim from the back of the seats. To do this you will need to unfasten the plastic bushings of the head restraints.
4. The heating element must be placed on the foam rubber and traced around the contours using a marker. Then strips of double-sided tape are glued onto them and glue is applied.
5. The elements are fixed on the back and seat.
6. Remove the power wires.
7. Reinstall the casing.
8. Replace the seat inserts and headrests.

At the very end, the seats are installed back and the wiring is laid.

Connection

To connect heated seats, you need to use the circuit that will come with the kit. You can detect power circuits using a multimeter. In this case, the positive wire of the thermal relay is connected to the ignition switch, the negative cable goes to ground. The button illumination is connected to the cigarette lighter contacts.

Attention! All connections are finally soldered and insulated.

Results

As you can see, every car owner can install heated seats. The main thing is to properly prepare for installation, collect the entire set of materials and tools, and also purchase a high-quality heating system or make it yourself.

Winters in our latitudes are often too cold and frosty - such that it is not so easy to stay warm in the car, even with the heater on. Of course, in Lately Almost all cars are equipped with such a function as heated front seats, but not all car models are equipped with the option of heated rear seats. Often, this function is available only in expensive foreign cars, while cars in the budget segment are usually not equipped with anything like this. So should the passengers sitting in the back freeze now, or can this problem still be solved somehow?

It turns out that there are no unsolvable problems, and heating the rear seats of a car is quite possible, and you can do it yourself. Below is a short little instruction that can help those motorists whose hands grow from the right place to independently install heated rear seats in their cars. Of course, there are still some difficulties in installing built-in heating systems, but the result will be worth it.

Interesting! There is an opinion that only the most expensive car models are equipped with a built-in rear seat heating function, but in model range Many manufacturers have quite affordable cars that have this option - their average cost is about 25-30 thousand conventional units.

In addition, installing seat heating of just this type gives a lot of benefits: firstly, if the work is carried out correctly, neither the interior of the cabin nor the appearance of the rear seats themselves will change, secondly, all wiring will be hidden, and, thirdly, such heaters can be connected directly to the electrical system of the car, thereby leaving free access to the cigarette lighter.

1. Necessary components

Having decided to install heated rear seats in your car yourself, you should first take care of finding and purchasing all the components necessary for this. Nowadays, there are many appropriate kits for installing heated seats on sale, from which you can choose a product that suits your taste and price.

The most popular among us are built-in heating elements made in Germany (Weako), Russia (Emelya and VO), China (Autoline International) and Taiwan (Megalight). Naturally, all these kits and kits differ both in their cost and quality, as well as versatility and level of reliability.

Note! Chinese kits for installing heated rear seats are the most attractive in price, but at the same time, they have more frequent breakdowns, such as broken or shorted wiring, uneven heating of the seat surface, broken power buttons, etc.

Most of these sets have the ability to use several different operating modes: heating the seats, heating only the backs, and simultaneous heating of both the backs and seats. Also, such devices can have different temperature conditions.

2. Installation and connection

After everything you need has been selected and purchased, you can begin the process itself. self-installation heated rear seats of the car, but you should be prepared for the fact that installation of the selected kit will take at least several hours. Undoubtedly, everyone can choose for themselves the sequence of performing this work, but this article shows exactly this procedure.

Interesting fact! Some models of inexpensive cars without a heated seat function, however, are equipped with the necessary wiring and components to connect it, which makes the subsequent process of installing heated seats yourself easier.

It is quite logical and even necessary to recommend that you first prepare the built-in heating kit itself and all the tools necessary for installation (screwdrivers, knife and scissors, insulating tape, pliers, glue, and so on).

2.1. Installation and output of buttons in the armrest

First, you need to determine the place where the buttons that turn on and regulate the heating of the rear seats of the car will be located; for example, the option of placing them in the armrest will be very convenient. If the car does not have one, then it can be purchased separately, while choosing an armrest with existing openings for buttons. Otherwise, you will have to cut the holes for the heating buttons yourself.

Important! In some cases, it is better to place the buttons for turning the rear seat heating on and off on dashboard in the direct line of sight of the driver, then he can control this function. This option will be especially useful if the heating is turned off as unnecessary.

The next step will be laying the wiring, and this task must be completed in such a way that the wires connected to the heating elements do not interfere with passengers and do not spoil the aesthetic appearance of the car interior. Therefore, it is advisable to lay the leads in such a way that it is possible to then hide them in the existing structural elements of the car.

Important! You should not lay wiring in places where it can be damaged; in particular, it is highly recommended not to have the wires under the feet of passengers.

2.3. Network connection

Next comes the actual connection of the laid wiring to the network. Of course, the easiest way would be to connect the seat heating kit to the cigarette lighter, however, this option will make it unavailable for use. An alternative, and a very good one, would be to connect the heaters directly to the car battery.

It is worth taking into account that in the cold season, when all heating devices in the car are turned on, the load on battery will be quite high, so some capabilities will most likely have to be sacrificed (for example, without listening to music).

2.4. Removing the rear seats

Well, in the end, we can move on to one of the most important stages the process of installing heated rear seats with your own hands - installing the heaters themselves. But first, you will need to dismantle the seats and then carefully remove the upholstery from them.

Interesting to know!Some seat heating devices have an additional interesting feature - they do not turn on when no one is sitting on the heated seat.

Often this very task takes a lot of time and effort, since removing the rear seats can be quite difficult for a beginner. It is also necessary to take great care when removing the upholstery from car seats - this must be done in such a way as not to damage the material in any way, and after all work is completed, install everything back.

2.5. Installation of heating elements

Well, now comes the moment of installing the heating elements themselves, which are attached under the seat upholstery and on the backrests (also under the upholstery). Standard rear seat heating kits include double-sided tape or adhesive to attach the heating surfaces to car seats, or the heating elements themselves are equipped with self-adhesive surfaces. But sometimes car enthusiasts secure them additionally in some other way.

It is important to know! When installing heated rear seats in frosty weather, it is advisable to carry out such work in a warm garage, since due to low temperatures, glue or self-adhesive may significantly lose their adhesive properties.

After the heating elements are secured to the seats and the wires are routed out, you will need to put the upholstery back on the seats and reinstall them in the car. After that, you just need to connect the heaters and check their operation.

Important! Not all installation kits for heated seats have protection against short circuit– in this case, it is recommended to purchase and connect fuses to the heating system yourself.

3. Warm result

So, after all this dreary and painstaking work is completed, the car enthusiast will have the opportunity to use an additional option in his vehicle However, this function will please, first of all, the rear seat passengers.
