nah as mentioned these are like electric pads that heat up... but that reminded about a top gear episode where clarkson was driving a merc with seat "aerators" so that your back didnt get sweaty being on leather on a hot day.

he farted and it blew it right in his face hahahaha

I reckon more Australians would appreciate that than seat warmers.

I love my heated seats. Much nicer than using the heater on cold days. Just a warning guys for those of you planning on kids soon, heated seats do drop your sperm count.

I might be interested in buying your heat seater parts actually. Depending on if i can retrofit into my non-leather seats (or straight trade seats entirely)

You're welcome to swing by and check it out on the weekend.

I probably live closer to you than the rest of these clowns.

You would not notice any difference in the way the car drives with or with out the heater elements. Also there is actually two levels for the heaters as well.

I tend to use my reguarly. Especially if my back is feeling a bit sore...it doubles up as a heat pack.
