I know many people got in on the group buy on the seat heaters so I thought I would do my share and post up some installation instructions. The instructions should be pretty accurate but there could be errors.

General Notes
- This is really a pain to do – not difficult, but a pain.
- My pictures suck.
- Check the seat heater wiring carefully. I had one connector pull off completely and a wire pull out of another connector. Tried calling for tech support and no success. The tech wasn’t available and never returned my repeated calls. I fixed the harness myself and will continue to try to get a replacement piece from them. UPDATE: I contacted the company via their on-line RMA page and a new part showed up in the mail today. I have to say that is pretty good customer service, especially since I had fixed the part and their website clearly states, in several places, not to do that.
- The instructions for the seat heater installation leave a lot to be desired.
- Time required: Seat 1 – 6 hours (learning curve), Seat 2 – 3 hours (down the learning curve quickly), Wiring – 7 hours (not really sure why or how it took this long – but it did).
- The position of the wire on the top and bottom heaters is important. When everything is assembled, the two connectors need to be right next to each other. Check out the wiring harness. Not a big deal, just something to keep in mind during wire routing.
