Yeah, i'm interested in getting a pair of leather heated seat. I'm willing to swap my seats plus some cash for a leather black headed seat. Anyone know someone who have a pair of leather seats and willing to swap?

I don't know the exact temperature. But there sure is a differnce between the Hi and Low positions. When the seat is in the low position the temp stays constant, albeit a lower temp. When the seat is in the high position, the thermostat cycles over and over again. i.e. it gets really warm and then cools off, then gets really warm, and then cools off. Hope this helps.

Could someone just upload the diagram to a webserver? If no one has hosting space, send it to me and I can host it.

It's your car, but if you live in Texas, don't bother. They are better than no heated seats when it's really cold, but nothing to write home about. If I lived up north then yeah, I'd pay $300 for them.

wiring diagram

I have the seats from an I-30, I have the switches and all. I need the wiring diagram as well. Any chance someone can send it to me? I'm driving a 95 SE for what it's worth and the factory plugs aren't there. I have the connectors to the seats but need to know what wires go to what. Thanks! Send mail to wstetson3@aol.com

Heated seats and remote start... You shouldn't have the seats on if know one is sitting in them. That's what I have read anyway. Plus, I am strict about turning everything off.

sorry to hijack the thread, but couldn't you take the heater grid and put it in cloth seats? I'm just wondering because i've replaced heater grids in other car seats before, and i just wanted to know if you need leather seats to have heated seats? how can i find out if i have the cold weather package, even though i don't have heated seats?
