Has anyone here installed aftermarket seat heaters? I have been looking at some of these for my commuter car and wondering what your experience has been.

So nobody here has ever upgraded stocks seats? I figured with all the baby boomers here and bad backs and such someone has to have done this install!

I've never installed any aftermarket ones, but my last 2 cars have had factory heated seats. We can sometimes get below 0* here in the winter. The seat cushion and seat back really heat up quick. One car I'm working on I might just have them installed along with a lumbar support (adjustable). Makes for a lot better ride when it gets cold or driving long distances.
I did see Jegs has heated seat insert for about $80. Goes between material and cushion so you'd need an upholsterer to install.
Daily driver, cold weather, recommended.

I'm gonna guess he didn't forget about it yet. It can't be that hard to pull the seat apart and install em right??? I bought a 95 Vision with 47K on it and a perfect leather interior to be a daily driver and I'd really like heated seats in it. Kits run like $40 a seat.

I need to fix the seat on my ram, drivers side stopped working and the bottom cushion on my M3 isn't working either ... on the to do list ...

Thanks for the link. I read this and watched a couple vids on YouTube. I will give this a go in the next month or so before it starts getting cold up here!

I put the heated seat setup in my girlfriends cobalt. It works great and is very easy to put in.

Thanks for reminding me. The bun warmers in the Durango have given up. The FSM has you replace them the same way the aftermarkets go in.
Going to have to go get the parts from Mother Mopar.
