Seat heater options?

[KY Tundra]

I've searched and see a few people mentioning an aftermarket kit on eBay but was wondering if anyone had a specific kit they liked. It's for a 2012 Tundra DC with cloth seats. Are they all factory wired for heaters and are you able to tie into that?
Thanks!

No heater help?

I have some in stock. We've used theese since 2010 and have not had any issues. Comfort Heat: Carbon Fiber Seat Heater (250-1870)

You can use code ih8mud on our site to save a little more $$.

We install these under the cloth seats, when using Katzkin's or when using Clazzio seat covers and I have them in my personal Tundra as well.

Are there install instructions available to install under stock, cloth seats? Difficult? Instructions include wiring? If not, any tips?

 

[SparksParts]

Yes. See link in post above. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

you will need hog rings and hog ring pliers to reinstall the seat covers

Sorry, I opened the link but didn't notice the instructions. Thanks again and I'll get them ordered soon.

Question: In my 100 series my passenger seat heater pad is missing, Im guessing when they re-covered they just didnt replace it, maybe it was no good. The female end of the plug is there and sticks out from under the seat, If i had a new element I could just plug in and go, new online that element is almost 400, stupid. My question is I wonder if I could use your element on my passenger side, do you know if the plug in on the end of that element is compatible with a 2003 LC. Thanks, Casey

Here is a picture of the plug I believe the stock seat heater is supposed to plug into. I would be nice if your pad is plug and play.

No they are not compatible, its a universal kit with its own wiring and switch.

Well. I figured that would be the case. Thanks!

Anytime!

Anytime!

One other question: Could I get your pad, cut the female factory plug off from under my seat and hardwire your pad in to my factory set up, or would this not work/be stupid to do.

Not sure, they may be different voltages, etc. I wouldn't recommend it.
