96 Infiniti i30, adding heated seats, is there a lot of wiring involved?

I have a 96 Infiniti I30 with auto climate control already, dual powered leather seats, can I just add some maxima leather heated seats, and get the heated seat switches?


Do I have to splice into the wiring to plug in the heated seat switches or is there a plug already in there to accept heated seat plugs? I really HATE dealing with wiring!!! Anybody have any thoughts on this?

so I just have to look under the center console and there should be 2 female or male plugs ready for the heated seat switches?

And is there 2 plugs from the seats side to plug into the wiring harness?

How much would aftermarket seat heaters cost?

you can try here for aftermarket heat pads:
http://www.leatherseats.com/section.asp?sid=7

note that you will have to remove the leather seat skins and reinstall them.

If your car is prewired, it strictly plugg and play, one additional plug under seats and two male connectors in center console.

if your car is not prewired, buy some connector pigtails and switches and run a 12 volt source and ground to switches and then from switches to seats, fairly easy set up as long as you have the seat pads in the seat allready.

the wiring process isn't very difficult, took me under a half hour to run wiring and hook it up using a fuse adapter.
