Dynamite job. I had an Aldi heated seat cover but it was fairly poor. I think the pup did me a favour when he pissed on it.
I'll be doing same as you, assuming I can do it to my B9. Have you a link for the seat heaters?

Sure.

I bought them from this 4x4 specialist, called mps-trading. Hadn't dealt with them before - I was helped by Simon, who was very responsive. They were very well priced (just looking and they're £114.98 for two seats). Here's the link (but this doesnt look right to me, so search "waeco heated seat kit mps trading" that works):

I'm not personally familiar with the B9, so cant comment on that but the principles are quite straightforward. 

hope it goes well for you (and the pup!)

I've done the job and taken a spin and now have an arse like 2 hot cross buns ?

I used this kit from amazon:

They are really great value. Each seat (2 heater mats) draws 1 amp on low and 3 amps on high at 13v. I took power from the dash board 12v socket which required a good bit of ripping but it wasn't rocket surgery.
