Thanks for the quick reply and oddly enough I did find this site as well as 2 others, just minutes ago. All 3 are a lot better than the ones that came with my set. Again thanks

Very inspiring! Going to do a rear seat installation on my Mazda CX-5...... Many thanks for your help 👍🏻👍🏻😎

Did you ever changing the wiring at the fuse box? I would love to see that, a video of the best or alternative ways to wire this to a fuse box.

Great Video! Just ordered the same kit you installed for a 2018 Chev Silverado 1500 and am wondering what you ended up using for the fuse splitters? The 15 Amp Fuse (Slot 22 HVAC IGN) is a 3 blade fuse while the other 15 Amp Fuses (Slot 43/44) are the smaller 2 blade fuses. Thanks!

Hi Luke, Thanks for an informative "how to". Like some others here I have bought the same kit which doesn't have the instruction sheet, so thank you for posting the pdf. Cheers buddie

Good video. I installed what looks like the same kit (same switches), but my controller box only had +12V and GND (no IGN). Anyway, the install was easy, but I find that I get this sound tone from my speakers if either of the switches are set to 1-4. 0/5 (full off/on) don't make any sound. I presume its from the PWM signal of the controller, but I can't seem to get rid of it. Did you happen to have the same issue?

So we have 2014 Impreza. Our kits came with a red positive black ground and a white Accra key door ACC. Does this white wire hook up to the ignition fuse like you mentioned in your video?

Great video, very detailed, ... almost too detailed. Thanks for posting, now I have to install heated seats for her, no more excuses now, thanks a lot lol :)

Good job bloke nice explanation

I installed this kit but I did not cut the tie down bars, I wrapped extra felt pads(included in the kit) around the element where the tie down bar contacts it and snapped the cover back in place, that way the cover doesn't have any loose spots.

How did you do your final wiring? Or did you just leave them ghetto fuse tapped?

Is there a way to wire the two position switch in for hi and low without all the delays and stuff?

I installed a heated seat kit in my 2019 elantra se. They work brilliantly, the only problem is that they do not turn off when I turn th ignition off. I bought a little jumper/bridge thing to stick in the correct fuse in the fuse box. The fuse that says says heated seat/frt in the fuse box, just below the steering wheel. But there is also a front heated seat relay in the fuse box in the engine compartment.When the heated seat kit is using the correct fuse in the fuse box in the car, the ODB does not get power. If i pullout the heated seat fuse then the odb does get power. I believe I have to do something with the relay in the fuse box in the engine but not sure what to do. I expect I could put the fuse for the heated seats in another 20amp place in the fuse box inside the car, maybe the sunroof? but i would like to do it right. Do you have any suggestions?

Planning on installing some in my 1990 f250 with cloth bench seat. Any suggestions for how I can do it well

Hey buddy! I didn't know you made videos on the KZfaq! I was looking into doing this on my old F150 and saw your video. How random!! Anyway, why don't you fly on down to Florida and help me out! 😄

I will install these on my s2000 soon, thanks for doing a great job here, it does look factory in your truck

Hi. Quick question, the carbon fibre elements are contained within that white fabric. Is that white fabric made from asbestos? Assuming it needs to be heat resistant. Thanks.

the seat heating draws like 20 Amps.Whatever existing circuit you connect it to, it will significantly increase the load on the common live wire of the circuit (the live wire between the battery and the fuse). The only safe solution - in my opinion- is a relay from an existing circuit which closes the seat heating circuit when ignition on - and the seat heating circuit needs to have a properly sized completely independent live wire from the battery positive terminal.

Hey man, any way to pull the caps off and paint them?

Could this be a good time to swap out the foam padding? Mine is a 2011 and would consider that as a.....”While I am in the neighborhood” type of repair.

Just received my kit and no instructions😢. My kit has the same controller switch however it tie in to one Module. What is confusing me is that my harness has red & black thick wires ( constant hot and ground) another thin red wire ( ignition source ) and a thin yellow (????) not sure. After watching your video in thinking it might be the switch backlight. Any thoughts 💭 would help. Thanks for the video.

What kit is this? I can seem to locate one that allows cutting for the hold downs.

One last question here. Since you have installed this kit have you had any issues or problems with it? Not heating well. The blue light on the knob burning out. The switch failing and only giving you high heat or off. Other... Thanks and great video!

Hi there you fitted this kit just wondering when you cut the hole in the bottom one did you go round the hole with the tape or did you leave it as it was as instructions are very vague

Do you think the pad would stick to cloth seat itself? I'm installing a set of thick seat covers in my work truck and am debating on putting the heating pad between the aftermarket seat cover and the top of the seat. On my other truck with these covers, the heat on high feels like low because of the seat covers and cloth seat being to much to feel the heat unfortunately. Wondering if that would be a good idea. Thanks and good job

Hey that link isn’t working anymore. Any chance you have another link?

After 5 years do u still have the truck and any issues

Is it possible to change the button light somehow from blue to red? What do you guys think?

Hey Luke, awesome video. Looks like that link at Amazon is gone. Can you tell me what kit you used, brand and model number. I have a GMC Acadia I would like to add that too. Thanks Jason

What I don't get is if the car is already wired and fused for heated seats, why can't you locate the existing wiring and splice your aftermarket 12V constant onto that instead of doing those nasty looking fuse taps? Shouldn't there be a 12V constant already wired to those fuses?

Hey first of all, good video thanks for sharing it. I have a kind of left field question. This kit looks great but I really, really hate blue led... What do you suppose are the chances that switch can be taken apart and the back light replaced to something that would match the rest of the vehicle's switch lighting (amber, red, cyan etc). Is the switch big enough that you think it might house an actual led that can easily be desoldered and replaced or is it more likely an smd? I know this is kind of a ridiculous question and you didn't manufacture the kit but I figured I'd give it a shot before I attempt to contact the manufacturer. Thanks!

Hi mate, great video! Just wanted to ask, you know on the lowest setting, are the heats still being heated or are the off? Reason I ask is, if on the lowest setting the seats are still being heated, how would you turn the seats off completely? Is there another built in switch on the control to switch them off? completely?

So, I've been looking at this kit and had some questions about the switches themselves. First off, what are the colors? Blue backlights and red indicators? Secondly, are the backlights dimmable with your other interior lights? Finally, how do you turn these heaters off? Do you press the switch, or turn them all the way to the left? Thanks!

Great video. I have a set of universal heat pads, but my instructions are in terrible broken English. Could I bother you to send me a copy of yours which seems great? Also can the pads be cut in length anywhere or just in specific places? Thanks and I am enjoying going through your videos.

anyone know where to get those switches?

Great video, thanks! Fellow Montanan here. How much would you charge to do this for me? Same truck

So can you actually cut out sections of the grids for the clips and the heating element will still work fully ?

Is there a way of doing basic electrical troubleshooting before removing the covers? Seats turn on but shut off after a few seconds. Apparently a self protect feature to avoid overheating. Different vehicle but same concept. I like your five level but I could survive on the factory three level if the universal pads could splice into the existing factory connector

Got mine all put together and installed wired taped to the fuses like you did. Knobs light up but i do not get any heat. Not even in the area before i made my cuts. Any idea? I guess i should have tested the pads before i started..

Nice video. How are they holding up?

The next time you decide to make a video, please consider using some auxiliary light for the dark areas and keep your head from between the camera and the subject you're photographing, please.

Are these kits still available I can not find this kit with the switch that rotates

Can you tell me where you bought the heating elements from please

Hi. Thanks for the video. Did you keep the fuse that came with the heater seats or cut it out since you wired it through the fuse box?

Was the kit UL Rated? Thanks

Which factory is this from

Can they also cool the seats?

How are the seat warmers holding up?

You say don't cut all the way across, but the instructions literally indicate that you can trim off the ends to a degree.

Do these turn off all the way?

I have the same heating pad and cut a line in but below the cut it not heating so the pad is not cutable

Not every vehicle has the same type of plastic clips that keep the fabric tight in the center of the seat. Some have these metal rings that go around a bar. Those are a bitch.

Man skipped the only part I wanted to know how to do he skipped, the fuse hookup to the box

This will show tell you what each wire runs to. www.rostra.com/manuals/250-1870_Form5261.pdf
