Adding "Factory" Rear Heat

[SSurdahl]

I have searched for this subject matter, but I have come up empty handed.

Can someone point me to a link or links detailing the steps, pitfalls, etc. to adding rear heat to the rear of the center console? I am thinking the hydronic side of the task should be simple. I would hope the electonic (switching, fans, interfacing the new witing with the exing harness, etc) side of the equation woud not be too expensive or cumbersome.

Perhaps cannabalizing a wrecked truck would be the likely starting point.

Thanks for any and all help!

100's dont have vents in the back of the armrest. All come with rear heat.

At least in 'Merica.

Do you sit in the rear seats? If not, then I don't understand!

With my 2000 you do have controllable rear heat: floor heat comes from under the font seats and there's overhead vents as well. Control is via an overhead panel that allows occupants to select temp, fan speed, and floor/ceiling vent mix. Are you just looking for vents in the back of the center console to blow on the passenger's knees?

For rear heat it'd probably much easier to wire in seat heaters under the leather. You're looking at the coolant lines, fan under the driver's seat, vents, and controls.
