Sup all,
Just wondering if any of you know how I can add heated seats to my '97 SE. Love my car, but I think it would be cool get a$$ warmers for those cold nights... Any ideas??

I'm not sure on the pricing from a junkyard for the entire seat assemblies, and I wanna avoid that hassle. Maybe someone knows of a add-on cushion set or kit to get "factory" style switches and assemblies for both seats?

I got a black leather interior, I am good with DIY installs... Anyone know of ways? And how much?

Thanks.

 

1) Buy heated seates (junk yard) $300
2) Sell current seats ebay $350
3) Eat lunch at cheesecake $50
Done
Thank you goodnight

 

Just so you know, most people with heated seats in the maxima are dissapointed... They don't actually heat up until heat is actually coming out from your heater which can take up to 5 minutes in the cold.... It's not just the maxima though, my friend has a 318 and the seats don't actually heat up until the car is so....

A lot of people also don't like the way they feel either, so I highly suggest testing them out before purchasing them.... Although if you do add them you may as well finish off the rest of the cold weather package from 97 which was

Heated Seats
Low windshield washer wiper fluid light
Long lasting battery
*Heated Mirrors


I know you can add the first 3, but i don't know about heated mirrors; they are activated by the rear defroster button and I assume all maxima's are pre-wired for them, hmmm personally that seems a little better than the seats...

I know my friend has a Max with heated seats and I wasn't impressed at all. The Americans have 'em beat on this one.(but thats about it). My mom has a '00 Bravada, and if you turn them on high, 30 seconds later your a$$ is literally on fire.

 

99.999% of japanese in japan dont have to shovel 5 feet of snow to get on the street. Or deal with -25 degree weather.

While the "american" car companies are based in Detroit.
which has occasional snow (from what i hear)

 

Why would anyone design seat heaters that get so hot they are uncomfortable ?

Dad's CL-Type S heated seats don't work for crap either.
