I have purchased a kit and will install when I obtain a new upholstery kit. Waiting for the cage to be installed first.

Bill,

I have seat cushion and seatback heaters in the front seats of my 2014 Chevy Silverado and they work great. Not that I need them a lot but on cold mornings and with my arthritis acting up in winter, it sure makes my back feel great. Does the kit you purchased come with heater for the seat back only or for both seat cushion and back? I’m thinking this will be a nice, warm addition to my TD as well.

I have them in my Intermeccanica Roadster and in my daily driver Volvo C70. Both have options to hea the seat & seat back or just the seat.

 

They work great!

 

The Volvo sits in a parking deck during the day. So it’s covered but still outside. The seats warm up almost immediately; well before the engine is warm enough to provide heat.

 

The heated seats also extend the top down season for both cars!!!

Another question. I did a search on Speedway Motors site for heated seat kits and warm seat and it turned up…..nothing. Any idea of the part number to order? The article in HotRod magazine doesn’t include it.

So am I to assume that your only passengers are hot-blooded young women? 😉

Passenger seat is always reserved for “hotties”.

Well my hottie will be toasty with a heated seat. Just made my birthday order. Decides to get two of them. One for me and one for the passenger seat too!

I put a Dorman set in my MGTDr.  I bought it from Amazon.

I put them only on the seat not the back.

I did not know how well they would work and since the seats fold forward I wasn’t sure if it would be a problem.  Also since normally if it cold you wear a jacket that would insulate you from the heater.

They work great. It was an easy install.  In fact on high it gets a little too warm.  My wife appreciates the seat heater a lot.
