Adding heated seats to a k9

[Daddypig]

I have a k9 (combo)

Has anyone swapped their seats for heated seats

I see the switch is built into the seat, anyone know if the loom has the heated seat loom all ready?

I don’t want to bodge stuff, ideally just a swap of the seats 

Thanks

I'm planning to install the elements under a good close fitting seat cover (fake leather/alcantara) and wire into the back of the 12v socket that I don't currently use. I'll probably put the switch on the side of the seat on the plastic trim, there's a little square mark where I assume the factory heater controls are installed.

Local builder has done the same

Got a cheap heated seat pad from eBay, got a decent seat cover and placed the pad under the seat cover, powered by 12v lighter socket.

Thanks for that, gives me confidence I'm not about to do something daft.

Have a look under the seat and follow the airbag loom to carpet. I would expect wire terminal there - and free connector for heated seat power supply, if lucky. Maybe someone with OE heated seats could provide reference picture?

K9 wiring diagrams are not that easily available, unfortunately.

Thanks, that’s the plan. Must look into it some more
