Hi all,

I bought a used 2002 RX300 without block heater (I couldn't see the plug-in at least). Anybody knows where it might be located, i.e. where should I take a look at if it's installed or not?

Thanks in advance,

Peter

 

If you don't see the power cord, I'd say you don't have one. I didn't think it got that cold in California. Do you live in Los Angeles or San Diego ?

I don't think it was a factory option, but rather would have been dealer-installed. From past experience living up North, the choices are an oil pan heater (better for the engine) or a block (coolant) heater (to get heat to passengers faster), or both.

On the other hand, I think you'll hear from forum members who live where it really gets cold who will say you don't need either. I myself got by for many years without heated seats and can't see why people love them. After all, you've got a coat on anyway.

 

Thanks buddy.

 

I think poeple like the heated seats,cause the leather can get pretty cold.On the other hand,your butt warms up the leather by the time the seat heater really kicks in anyway.
