Rear heated seats ?

**Dave1.9** · 5th April 2012, 12:14

Iv found a mystery connector at the back of my centre console, and from the drawings I have obtained appear that they may be rear heated seats ?

Any guesses ?

Has anyone installed these ?

Yip I fitted them to my Vec Elite a couple of years ago and found they work great. I got a heated seat kit of the bay and did all the work fairly quickly with no hassle, base section of the rear seat only.

The connections for the pads are under the seat and the connection for the switches is in behind the aux socket on the centre console. The hassle part was fitting the heated seat relays which are located in the rear fuse box.

Once this was done the dealer had to make the connection in TECH 2. All in all a very worth while investment and no more complaints about cold leather seats.

Hope this helps?

Brown and green connectors are the rear heated seats, a longer thinner grey one is for the twin audio system.

Edit: you can see them in this pic...

the twin audio unit goes at the top of the rear console then the heated
rear seat switches go below in a trim panel with the power point between
the heated seat switches.
