Installing heating pads into nonheated leather seats.

Has anyone tried it? The temperatures here in NE are brutal and I'm seriously considering inserting the heating pads into the seats. I need feedback if anyone has done. If it's easy to take the leather off the seats I will do it. Any info is appreciated.

Let's just put it this way. The kits for actual aftermarket heated seats aren't really that expensive, like $150. It is the labor part that is tough. There is a company here that charged $500 for heated seats. I got leather and heated seats in my car for $899.

What about getting one of those heated massager things that go over the seats? I have one for my office chair and it has a 12V connector on it for cars.

It's only like $80 or so and it has a vibrator feature.... ooohhhh

This is the link that Maxima-2 is referring to. None of this installation requires you to take off your original seat covers, or take apart your center console. The only things you have to take off are the 2 trim pieces on the drivers door sill, and a plug that holds on the carpet. This installation is on my 2003 Maxima SE. http://mywebpages.comcast.net/raa970...eats/index.htm

I'll just go with a heating pad that you plug in to the lighter outlet. Can't go wrong for 20 bucks.
