+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.

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!

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.

Thanks for the feedback. My kit is a bit weird (or maybe its just my body temperature). Some mornings, the thing gets nice and toasty in 2-3 mins, other days you have to drive a good 10min before you can feel anything. Regardless, don't try it indoors, try it outside (pads under the the chair covering at least) when its chilly outside. You won't feel much at room temperature.
@roccocroce
@roccocroce 9 жыл бұрын
+speedkar99 thanks man! I got mine installed yesterday and they get crazy toasty. I was skeptical at first but the output changes drastically when it's sandwiched inside the seat. It really distributes the well and stays hot. In fact, even in the low setting it's pretty hot. It's great having a hard toggle switch so I can leave it on when I get out and it's ready to go when I remote start the car. Luxury 8) What a great little kit. Only "problem" I had was there was no divisible section to put hog rings through so I can to mark and cut across the grid. Seemingly had NO effect to output or distribution. This must be the new style of design. I would imagine it's MUCH easier to manufacture in a long uninterrupted sheet. Nonetheless, perfect. Was nice to see a fully potted Bosch style relay for the low temp setting, too. Not bad for $28 bucks.

Good to hear you got your kit working. Where did you get it from? What car did you install it to? My kit from ebay, for two seats was something like $60-70. I wouldn't say its hot on the low setting, but is decently warm on the high setting, just enough to comfort your back and take the coldness away from the leather seats. As for the hog rings, technically they say you can cut through the heater mesh without any repercussions. I didn't want to risk it though, and conveniently positioned the pad so the breaks in the element align with my hog rings. I don't think skipping the middle hog rings does harm either. I found an aftermarket seat heater kit just like mine in a car in the junkyard. I ripped it out and am hoping to install it in the rear seat of my ES or Solara. Another winter project...

Understood, after looking around online for a little bit last night I came to the same conclusion that it was a little sketchy. I bought some of the add-a-circuit fuse to wire connectors last night on Amazon. Looks like a pretty good little trick. It has a spot for the original fuse and another spot for the second fuse.

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??

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.

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.

Hi, I´m developing one project right now, look what I´m trying to do: I want to build one chair using one audi a8 seat, why? Because I can set the adjustments using the commands of the seat and make it warm or cold. The seat has heater and ventilation, massage settings and adjustments for almost all the seat parts. here is the problem, I found one A8 seat cheap and is working as it should, but I noticed that the deep adjustments are made in the LCD panel inside of the A8, but here is my question, Do I need one central module or If I plug phase and neutral all together the seat will work with all commands? Or another option will be : Take all the cables out and wire each one to a new panel with new buttons for each motor/function. Does one 12v 30A will handle with it?

+hotsauce2007 the command system is linked to the internal bus in your vehicle. Your better off rewiring the actuators to a new module (like an arduino) and program it yourself, than try to figure out the Audi communication bus, unless you have a strong computer science background.

Quick question, why use anti-seize on those bolts? Wouldn't locktite be better since you don't want it coming loose? Is using Locktite AND anti-seize a thing?

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.

+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.

My question would be does the leather sit more "loose" on the seat than it was before you dismantled it?
@speedkar99
@speedkar99 8 жыл бұрын
+WhiteSlift No, I replaced most of the hog rings and the leather is as original. If you miss hog rings then it will be loose. It's not like your stretching the leather to get the heaters in.

My Toyota is drive by cable throttle and doesn't have the electronic throttle issues the newer Toyota's had. The floor mat thing was a cover up for a glitch in the DBW system. Besides, I keep my mat away from the gas pedal, and rarely floor it.

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? :)
