Well not quite modding, this time im sort of replacing. Going where no man would dare unless your an upholsterer.

Few Sneak peaks.....





Can you guess what im doing? Well if you cant tell why or what i am doing then the answer is simple. Many of you guys complain about non-working heated seats, well i've got the solution in hand.

"You've got a HLX why fit heated seats when you already have heated seats as standard?"

I always had a tempermental drivers seat when it came to heating so i decided to remove and replace as it was annoying in winter. Passenger side is perfect but i'm still replacing that one aswell as my new ones have a fancy two phase heat mode.

Total cost is £43 for both back and seat heating pads for both seats. Yes thats correct, not a mis-print, £43 Brand New items. Not original Fiat parts but IMO perhaps better quality. These come with a 3 point switch, phase 1 for a warm setting, phase 2 for a twice as warm setting and off.

I've removed the original switch and heating pads but going to incorporate the LED into the new seats.

Watch this space.....


About Me

Didnt know u could get non fiat ones!!! Where u get them joske? You are goin to say Poland arent you ?

ah now i know what u meant chap, i`ll have to get in touch with you over weekend if thats ok as i have the same problem, just let me know is best to call you

BRAVO, why settle for anything less.

Jay, defiantely not Poland, available in the UK and i will let you all know when i get it all running smoothly.

Even if you had an SX interior you could fit the heated seats if you dare too.

Rob, yeah no probs.



About Me

I feel a new guide coming.

Nice one Joske. That will definitely be on my list once you've written an idiot proof guide for me.

Oz mods again

That's not a mod that's a fix.

your replacing the passenger one, and it works. Thats modding!

I can guarantee you I would not bother with the passenger one myself. 1) it works and 2) I'm a lazy sod who certainly could not be bothered to do it even if it didn't work. Drivers side is needed though.

Oh and Joske, are you not tempted to put a massager unit in there too?

Well its a fix for HLX/HGT owners and a mod for S and SX owners. If your nice enough i'll write a lovely guide for this forum.

The seats can be wired in directly into the original switch or use the new switch with extra functions.

Oz i doubt a massager would look standard fit, after all this isn't pimp my ride. However i did find an air condition seat cover.

Err i think you'll find there's four: -

"The magic heat mounting kit includes four heating elements, two both the driver and passengers seats. "

Nice one Joske.

I am not to bothered with heated seats. What I would like to have is heated steerling wheel My hands are so cold in the morning...

"It must be Fiat Bravo, forget the rest"

re

shoudl have got your sewing machine out when you had the covers off!

its much easier than i imagined!

not perfect but considerig i did this in a week of evenings i thought was ok!

never got round to the frotn two though!

helps if i actually add picture!

Joske that looks like an awesome attempt at improving the quality of the heated seats. I look forward to seeing how it all ends up.

I have leather now though so I'm assuming it will be a complete pain to remove that and insert the heating elements.

I look forward to the guide anyway though!

Dan

joske please do a guide for fitting them in an sx!!nice enough??lol

Ok all is done, refitted seats, wiring rechecked and seats tested. MMMMmm nice toasty bum.
