As the title says, new owner and - looking for guidance. I've tried search but maybe I'm not using the proper terms - has any one installed heating elements in the front seats? Any guidance there? I see lots of generic looking aftermarket kits, so if one is better than others or ... any advice? Advice on OEM looking switch gear?

thanks!

Anything you find aside from stock will look tacky as you need some way to control it. Best way is to get stock controls and stock seats. Not sure if the car has a built in harness to plug in and distribute power to the seats. maybe. You'd have to research.

As you're dealing with a heating element inside your seat, you don't want something poorly engineered or poorly installed for obvious reasons. In short, this is likely not happening. Too much cost and/or effort to do it right.
