Hi Filks,
Playing with the idea of adding the heating elements to the rear seats of my '05 R53. Anybody ever done this? Any advice/instructions or pictures on how to do this?
Thanks!

 

"Bun warmers"? There are aftermarket kits available that would work fine, do a little research on the web and eBay - but Buyer Beware, definitely find some quality kits. Also, be aware that Minis use their wiring as a "bus" for the computer, so you'll have to run a separate circuit for the heating elements, switched so they're only capable of being "on" when the car is "on". Easily done for anyone familiar with vehicle wiring. There may be an aftermarket automotive upholstery shop or "tuner" in your area that can do this for you. Should cost about $100-$150 per butt heated (that was the "installed" price to have our Honda Odyssey seats taken care of).

 

Thank you. That's good advice.
