DIY Video on how to install heated seats in your car. The video also goes through the procedure for replacing the leather or cloth seat coverings.
Adding heated seats to your car will give you extra comfort on cold winter days, especially if the seats are leather trimmed.
A seat heater kit was bought from eBay that includes a two pads for each seat (total of four pads), one for the chair back and one for the seat cushion. A wiring harness with a relay, fuse and switch are included.
This video takes you through the process of removing the seat from your car, disassembling the seat cushions, removing the upholstery (leather or cloth), installing the heat pad, and then reinstalling the coverings. The chairs are then reinstalled into the car, where the consoles are taken apart and wiring to the fuse-box is demonstrated.
The use of hog rings are recommended to hold the upholstery and seat coverings together, however zip ties can be used in place.
The kit is universal and easy to use and requires little electronics knowledge, with the help of a fuse tap and eye-lit.
The pads are carbon fiber weaved within a cloth backing, and comes with double sided tape to be applied to the sponge. It can be cut in the middle (where the weaving is, but not the outside edges) and is roughly the size of an 11"x17" sheet of paper.

+MrMarco6900 Thanks! Short and to the point is my style. Yes it is alot of work initially but once you get a hang of how the seats come apart and how hog rings work you can finish one seat in less than an hour.

***** It takes about an hour to remove the leather covers, install the heating pads and close up one seat. The wiring is straight forward and should only take another hour maximum, depending on how many panels need to be removed.

@Pendragon501
@Pendragon501 6 лет назад
I'm going to be doing this today for both the driver and passenger side of my car (2011 Milan). I'm guessing it's going to take me about 2.5 to 3 hours for the first side and maybe 1.5 hours on the second. I'm guessing only 30-45 minutes for the electrical. I will be soldering any wiring and using shrink tubing instead of wire nuts. I've had the center council apart on my Milan before to run the wiring for the dash cam so I can have that apart in 5 minutes or less and I only need to remove one tiny panel to access the whole fuse box. I did buy the kit with the 100 hog rings and pliers. I contemplated buying the spray adhesive for the pads to make sure they are extra secure but it looks like I'm going to be sliding them in place and that would just muck it up. In total I'm guessing 5.5 hours. I will literally time how long it takes of actual working time to do both seats from start to finish the whole job (including clean up) and report back!

Well, thank you for the great video! I am interested how can you do it when the seat cover is glued to the foam? I have a Honda Jazz GG 2009. I have the heat pad kit quite similar to yours, but it is challenging. In a service first of all it would be terribly expensive and still I am not sure they would do it properly for that money. If you could give hints or even make a video like that? :)

This is a great video, and a good study for a 'how to' video should be done, no extended intro, just the process and how to do it. Personally I'd have used a soldering iron and heatshrink sleeve on the joints, but if it's working, then it's all good. This is something I'm considering for a van I'm about to buy shortly for long distance touring.

HELP! I am trying to install this exact same one on my gf's 2012 Honda Civic and it is not working. I soldered the inline fuse to the power line and crimped the fuse tap on to that. I looked up the fuse diagram and hooked it to the existing slot 14 for the seat heater. Hooked up the ground to a screw on the chassis under the seat that other wires were grounding to so I know its a good grounding point. I checked the wire continuity with a DMM so the solder joints are good. I alligator clipped an external battery pack to verify that the switch works (red and green) and it does. It just does not work when hooked into the car (Yes I turned on the car). I even used a couple other random fuse slots that were rated for 10 amp to no avail... Am I missing something??

Also I have remote start on my truck so I wanna be able to have the seats heat too while it's warming up. Can I run a fuse tap to something like the sunroof?

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I drive the exact same model Solara, and no one seems to post mods with these cars. No doubt leather seats suck in winter especially without heated seats. Do you have the problem with your power door locks where, the switches work for both doors to lock and unlock, but the passenger side lock will not lock with the switch, only manually or with the key outside?
@speedkar99
@speedkar99 9 лет назад
Thanks. The heated seats definitely help in the winter with comfort. My power locks function normally. You probably should see if there's voltage going to the actuator to rule out an electrical problem.

I love your videos!! Great camera position. Great detail. Very in depth. Keep them coming. Doesn't seem like your getting rid of your Solar anytime soon huh? I need to replace the struts on my 2001 Camry but its gonna be like a $400ish job with me and a neighbor to complete. I don't want to spend that kind of money on a relatively old car, but it only has 107,400ish miles on it. And I don't think I want to upgrade to a car with stability control, traction control, blind spot monitoring, etc. I like to drive so I don't like so many tech nannys.

Thanks for the feedback on the video. I try to keep them clear and easy to understand. I like my Solara and will be keeping it for now. Struts are pretty easy to replace, even if doing it yourself. Check out my quick strut installation video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-bWsWy-qBwf4.html

speedkar99 yeah I saw your strut video and I realized they are pretty easy to change. Found some KYB complete shocks online for about $450 total. Now it just seems like a lot to me for a 14 year old car next year. But it only has 108k milies so... But the paint on the top is chipping pretty bad especially on the rear, it's the clear coat and I see some coming down the c pillar. Plus the head linear is a bit saggy in the middle, I fixed the end but the middle is hard since I stretched it out in the end. To be honest if I had a V6 in my Camry I would keep it HANDS DOWN. I have the electronic nanny's in cars. With a V6 I would keep the Camry until it blew up.

I don't think you should give up on a car just because it needs struts. $450 is outrageous, have you checked on RockAuto, that's where I got mine from.

speedkar99 Its $450 for all 4. I've been on Rockauto's site. They charge an arm and a leg for shipping. KYB's are the best I hear from everyone

thinking of doing this to my 2010 toyota corolla S, would the process be exactly the same more or less?

Yes but be careful with side airbags in the seat.

Does it matter which pad goes onto the back rest or the bottom? And I’ve seen a few videos for heated seats but they all do this step differently, do the wires need to go into the back where they meet or by where your legs would be facing?
@speedkar99
@speedkar99 5 лет назад
The wires should go to the back so it doesn't bother you, and you can flip pads.

I plan on purchasing the corbeau GTS II seats in leather for fox body mustang. corbeau wants $50.00 per seat for the heater mat install from the factory and they send the wiring harness with the seats. Is it worth $100 to have them do it? The leather well be brand new and very tight. just need an opinion.
@speedkar99
@speedkar99 8 лет назад
+Darren Hall Yes, that's worth it. My kit alone was roughly $70 from ebay, so to have them do it while the leather is off is much easier.

How long do these seat pads usually last? I may be buying a used Impreza without any heated seats. Winter conditions are harsh where I live.

I'm replacing the OEM drivers side seat heater in my car ('08 Civic Hybrid). It died after 9 years. However, my parents '99 Toyota Landcruiser's seats heated up hot and fast still, when they sold it last year. It had 350,000 miles and still worked beautifully. Seems that they are really simple devices, and like any electronic, they can die for no reason. If not, the work forever.
