I am thinking about buying some heating elelments for the Panda seats. Where would be the best place to wire them into for the power and do the seat covers just peel back or are they glued on to the foam:confused:. We love the heated seats in my stilo and think it would be ace to have em in the little Panda too.:D
 
I suspect that the power consumption on the heating elements is high, so I'd recommend you take power from the battery and add a inline fuse(maybe even a relay) in the engine compartment - for safety.

Don't know much about the seat covers, but I don't think they are glued to the foam.

Cheers,
Dan

EDIT:
You might get away by using the cigaret lighter circuit, as long as you don't use the lighter or chargers at the same time with the heaters. This is if your heater elements do not consume more then 3.5A each. keep in mind that if the heaters run for an extended period of time and consume much more then 3.5A you run the risk of melting the isolation on the cable that can start a fire!
