DIY Video on how to install heated seats in your car. The video also goes through the procedure for replacing the leather or cloth seat coverings.
Adding heated seats to your car will give you extra comfort on cold winter days, especially if the seats are leather trimmed.
A seat heater kit was bought from eBay that includes a two pads for each seat (total of four pads), one for the chair back and one for the seat cushion. A wiring harness with a relay, fuse and switch are included.
This video takes you through the process of removing the seat from your car, disassembling the seat cushions, removing the upholstery (leather or cloth), installing the heat pad, and then reinstalling the coverings. The chairs are then reinstalled into the car, where the consoles are taken apart and wiring to the fuse-box is demonstrated.
The use of hog rings are recommended to hold the upholstery and seat coverings together, however zip ties can be used in place.
The kit is universal and easy to use and requires little electronics knowledge, with the help of a fuse tap and eye-lit.
The pads are carbon fiber weaved within a cloth backing, and comes with double sided tape to be applied to the sponge. It can be cut in the middle (where the weaving is, but not the outside edges) and is roughly the size of an 11"x17" sheet of paper.

+MrMarco6900 Thanks! Short and to the point is my style. Yes it is alot of work initially but once you get a hang of how the seats come apart and how hog rings work you can finish one seat in less than an hour.

I'm going to be doing this today for both the driver and passenger side of my car (2011 Milan). I'm guessing it's going to take me about 2.5 to 3 hours for the first side and maybe 1.5 hours on the second. I'm guessing only 30-45 minutes for the electrical. I will be soldering any wiring and using shrink tubing instead of wire nuts. I've had the center council apart on my Milan before to run the wiring for the dash cam so I can have that apart in 5 minutes or less and I only need to remove one tiny panel to access the whole fuse box. I did buy the kit with the 100 hog rings and pliers. I contemplated buying the spray adhesive for the pads to make sure they are extra secure but it looks like I'm going to be sliding them in place and that would just muck it up. In total I'm guessing 5.5 hours. I will literally time how long it takes of actual working time to do both seats from start to finish the whole job (including clean up) and report back!

This is a great video, and a good study for a 'how to' video should be done, no extended intro, just the process and how to do it. Personally I'd have used a soldering iron and heatshrink sleeve on the joints, but if it's working, then it's all good. This is something I'm considering for a van I'm about to buy shortly for long distance touring.

HELP! I am trying to install this exact same one on my gf's 2012 Honda Civic and it is not working. I soldered the inline fuse to the power line and crimped the fuse tap on to that. I looked up the fuse diagram and hooked it to the existing slot 14 for the seat heater. Hooked up the ground to a screw on the chassis under the seat that other wires were grounding to so I know its a good grounding point. I checked the wire continuity with a DMM so the solder joints are good. I alligator clipped an external battery pack to verify that the switch works (red and green) and it does. It just does not work when hooked into the car (Yes I turned on the car). I even used a couple other random fuse slots that were rated for 10 amp to no avail... Am I missing something??

Thanks for the feedback. My kit is a bit weird (or maybe its just my body temperature). Some mornings, the thing gets nice and toasty in 2-3 mins, other days you have to drive a good 10min before you can feel anything. Regardless, don't try it indoors, try it outside (pads under the the chair covering at least) when its chilly outside. You won't feel much at room temperature.

+speedkar99 thanks man! I got mine installed yesterday and they get crazy toasty. I was skeptical at first but the output changes drastically when it's sandwiched inside the seat. It really distributes the well and stays hot. In fact, even in the low setting it's pretty hot. It's great having a hard toggle switch so I can leave it on when I get out and it's ready to go when I remote start the car. Luxury 8) What a great little kit. Only "problem" I had was there was no divisible section to put hog rings through so I can to mark and cut across the grid. Seemingly had NO effect to output or distribution. This must be the new style of design. I would imagine it's MUCH easier to manufacture in a long uninterrupted sheet. Nonetheless, perfect. Was nice to see a fully potted Bosch style relay for the low temp setting, too. Not bad for $28 bucks.

Good to hear you got your kit working. Where did you get it from? What car did you install it to? My kit from ebay, for two seats was something like $60-70. I wouldn't say its hot on the low setting, but is decently warm on the high setting, just enough to comfort your back and take the coldness away from the leather seats. As for the hog rings, technically they say you can cut through the heater mesh without any repercussions. I didn't want to risk it though, and conveniently positioned the pad so the breaks in the element align with my hog rings. I don't think skipping the middle hog rings does harm either. I found an aftermarket seat heater kit just like mine in a car in the junkyard. I ripped it out and am hoping to install it in the rear seat of my ES or Solara. Another winter project...

THANK YOU FOR THIS. I drive the exact same model Solara, and no one seems to post mods with these cars. No doubt leather seats suck in winter especially without heated seats. Do you have the problem with your power door locks where, the switches work for both doors to lock and unlock, but the passenger side lock will not lock with the switch, only manually or with the key outside?

Thanks. The heated seats definitely help in the winter with comfort. My power locks function normally. You probably should see if there's voltage going to the actuator to rule out an electrical problem.

This is a perfect step by step video. Are they 3 step switches? High low off?

Wow good job. Im going to mount my switch to the side of the seat, save a whole lot of time messing with dash trim and center council. Other option would be to use the 12 v lighter power from council. Increase the Peace thanks for this.

+seewall11 thanks. The 12v socket only has a 10-15 A fuse on it, so it won't be enough for both seat heaters, plus what ever accessories you run (GPS, dash cam, tail gater deterrent system, etc)

Hey great video! is there an "off" position on the switch as well as a "low/high"? thanks

+Ryan Madmann Yes, the center of the switch is off, then down is low, and up is high. 3 way switch.

Very, very nice! You make it look so easy. Is this what you do for a living? I'm looking at a Dodge RAM 1500 pickup and it has everything you could want... except heated seats.

damn you do very neat work. I have a question about the wring.. should you wire the relay to the cigarette lighter for power, and the positive power for the heaters directly to the battery, that way they'll turn off with the ignition but draw power directly from the battery, to avoid drawing too much from the lighter circuit?

Yes that can work as well. I didn't want to tap into my already over loaded 12v outlet line and had a seat heater fuse in the box anyway.
