And it was an essential for me on the Boxster, cold day, heater on full blast, warm buttocks, heaven I'm with @rowbos. I wouldn't have a car without them, however retrofitting seems scary and challenging Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kilham5 Posted September 28, 2017 Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Both our daily drives have them, but they never get used. Had them on the MX-5, used them once in three years, felt odd (sweaty gusset), never used them again. SLK has air-scarf which is ace and does get used. (I do like a nice cruise, last one had an all night Mojito Bar ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911S Posted September 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2017 Thanks for all the replies guys but has anyone done the conversion of putting genuine porsche heated seats with standard switches and wiring loom up to main loom into a 986. Dennis Vogel how to is great but more aimed at an aftermarket solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickLS7 Posted September 29, 2017 Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Err, the Dennis Vogel guide is how to retrofit the Porsche heated seats not aftermarket ones. Did you read all the pages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
911S Posted September 29, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2017 Am a bit confused as Dennis suggests the wires go through the sills,yet the pics I have seen of a standard loom seem to to show it going under the centre console. Have definitely read all the pages of a very well done How to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dennis Vogel how to is great but more aimed at an aftermarket solution. As said earlier I have done it (as well as Dennis) The cables run from the switches along the central tunnel to the fuse box and then down the sills to the seats. The wires aren't in the main loom unless you have heated seats fitted in the factory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephenM Posted October 17, 2017 Report Share Posted October 17, 2017 Must admit mine does not have heated seats but I have not missed them, feel like your practically sitting on the engine and the cabin is always just nicely warm just with the normal heating.

911S Posted October 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted October 18, 2017 After a lot of debating have decided to not fit the heated seats. Have bought a lovely original car and for once am going to leave it alone. Time will tell Thanks to you all for your comments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
