mmm a leather kit from leatherseats.com without being in a group deal is about 750 or so i think? The heated seat kit is about an extra 100. I would wait for the next group deal. There are many many threads about installing leatherseats.com kits. the heated seat option is very simple to do while youre doing your leather...

but i am assuming you just want to add heat to your existing leather? if thats the case...then its a pain. you have to take off the leather and put the heating elements inside the seat. i was close to getting the heated seat kit from leatherseats.com for $120, but then when i ask the procedure to put them in, it seemed like much more of a hassle than its really worth.

well taking off the existing leather and putting it back on seems like a chore to me.

Well, I'm assuming that putting the heating element into the seat would just mean removing the leather from the hog rings. That would not be SUCH a huge deal, I guess, if you want the heated seats bad enough... (which I do )

But would the heating element from leatherseats.com connect to the Nissan console switches so it would all look factory?
