Do you need to have the leather seats or can it be done to cloth?
didn't see anythign in the FAQ

 

I've seen this question before and I think the answer was yes it can be done if you're willing to spend the time with the wiring, tearing down and redoing the seats, etc. I don't see a reason why it couldn't be done other than potentially having too much heat for the cloth seat but I wouldn't know why that would be unless the cloth has a low flash point or something. Give it a try and tell us how it goes!

 

Wireing is already these on some cars, just need to run some switches up to the console, then wire it up to the fuse location where it says heated seats. Get a set of heated seats and mount them in. My GXE 01 has wireing already there for heated seats and power seats, and I have manual cloth seats. I have repleaced alot of heater elements in the seats so I know how to get it done, but adding them to cloth seats is useless. You need to mount the heater right below the cloth of the seat and it will feel really weird to you when you sit on it. Audi has mounted heated seats in their cloth seat cars, it works good but not as good as leather seats.

 

gonna start looking for a set of seats. hopefully the wireing is all there for me.

unfortunately wont get the heated wheel or mirrors.

 

ya, most of the maxima have the wiring already done, just wire a switch to the fuse box and u good to go.....

 

there are factory heated cloth seats available, they are out there, some cars came with them. they will have side airbags, and be heated, but only the driver will be power.

 

Yeah, Triple8sol had stock cloth seats and he had the Meridian edition (heated seats, wheel, mirrors). So it is possible. But he upgraded to custom leather seats, so maybe the cloth did suck with the heaters.

 

the cloth could catch fire. i would like to see a how-2 on this

 

yeah ive also seen a 2k3 with heated cloth seats and side airbags...i didnt realize it came from the factory though...

 

Why would you need heated cloth seats? Cloth does not get that cold like leather does. Cloth adjusts to your body temperature within seconds of sitting on it.
