They are imbeded in the foam of the seat. You will not be able to transfer them unless you have a REALLY crafty upholstery person that can rip apart your new seats after slaughtering your old ones.

I replaced the seat heater heating element in my BMW's passenger seat bottom. It took me pretty much the whole weekend. It was quite a workout. It is definitely doable; it just takes A LOT of strength and patience.
My driver's side heating element went out shortly afterwards; I am not going to fix that one.

 

There's an aftermarket company that sells seat heating systems for cars that did not come equipped with such. You might do a search on Google for seat heaters and see what turns up.

 

thanks
