Hi All,

I just installed a set of Classic Green Lounge Leather seats in my 2013 Cooper S. While these new seats are heated, my car was not optioned that way. My seats came with the modules and all wiring needed for the heaters. Would it be possible to pin in power and ground (I have the 30A fuses and they get power) through an aftermarket switch and get these to work? If so, would that option need coding?

My car was not optioned with heated seats. I have the fuses and they get power, but the wiring does not go all the way to the seat plugs. I am looking for a work around to get these to work vs swapping in the factory switches in the center dash. Although if this wasn't too difficult I would go this route.

I know there are lots of threads about heated seats, I think I have read most of them. From my reading they fall into two categories:

1) Full retrofit with coding and factory switches
2) Aftermarket kit installs

I am trying to morph these two as I already have the factory equipment in my new seats.

Any and all help is appreciated. If I somehow missed the holy grail thread, please point me in the right direction
