#2
after having heated seats in my "S"
i want heated seats in my hot rod (1968 GTO convertible)
so i was talking to my friend, who's a mechanic and he said you can buy the heating elements and install them into the seats
i'm not sure how much work is involed to do this
(i don't want to spend a fortune,either)
i'll be looking further into this in the near future

BUMP Just trying to resurrect this dead thread. :smile:
I know that summer is upon us and this is likely not on anyone's mind, but I'm hoping to do this for my wife before another "frozen a$$" winter in Wisc.
Anyone try to retrofit the MINI heated seats into a non-heated seats MINI?

I imagine it's possible, but it may not be easy, or cost effective.

Aftermarket alternative
Instead of OEM heating seats, there are aftermarket heating element, inserted inside the seat with an external switch that can be mounted anywhere. I've installed them in other cars before. It isn't difficult, but time consumming.
PM me, if you're interested. :smile:
