Aftermarket heated seat kit?

[w.neurauter]

As winter approaching in Chicago I'm dreading sitting on the ice cold leather seats in the GT first thing in the morning. I've been looking at some aftermarket heated seat kits to use, only about $80 per seat. Has anyone ever used or done anything like this?

I havn't installed anything like that before, but for $80, I would give it a shot. Just try it on one seat and see how it goes.

You can pick them up on ebay, but you should have some knowledge of pulling the seat apart and putting it back together.

The place I'm leaning toward is autowarm.com. There are also a few other places that can be found doing google searches. Does anyone have any experience taking leather seat covers off of our seats? From what I've found it's pretty simple to do once you get the seats out of the car. I'm guessing it can't be too hard to take the seats out of the car, never done it with my car but have done it on my cousins Porsche without any problems.

What about a remote starter and turn the heat on?

id get both, if youre starting it in the morning youll have to leave the blower on high, which will make it take even longer to warm up, and that takes forever in the first place.

yeah, our cars take a long time to warm up. I just drive the car to the train station in the morning which is maybe 10 minutes at the most. Even when i let it warm up for 5 minutes it take until I get there for warm air to make it out. With heated seats I would just give it a 1 minute or so warm up to warm up the seats. I'd save a lot of gas as well.
