General Anyone seen heated electric leather?

[Greg123]

Looked for about 3 years to see if I can see an example that has leather that was heated and electric. Mainly to see if there is any chance of finding one in a breakers for the interior but currently I don't think I have seen one full stop!

Has anyone seen such a spec and if so any idea on UK numbers?

This was a £900 option !! It took me a while to find a prestigio with leather seats, connect+ and roof bars. Never seen any advertised with heated electric seats.

Keep looking, I have a 2007 Croma (before restyling) with beige leather, electric&heated seats.

Do you want to sell it????? ;-)

And thanks - I have been for a while though one can't spot every one. I went to look at one recently but it was non-electric and the seats had not worn well.

Mine has leather, no heat. Have you checked ePer to see if the 159 heaters are com-patible. I have to reinstall my ePer, or I would have looked.
They were a popular option on the 159, but I doubt more than a handful of Cromas had them in UK.

If you already have leather you could buy some inserts and do it DIY.

Having leather would be a start! I'd buy another car just to swap the leather over but I'd rather do it to electric/heated if it's available.

Get a Findus microwave lasagne if you want heated leather.

Yes but I don't like horse leather.... This is annoying my old Octavia I got rid of for it had heated leather, xenons, two things vvvv hard to get on a Croma it seems!

I put a set of 156 Momo seats in my Marea and they bolted straight in, so I'm sure 159 or even Vectra/Insignia seats are the same fitting as a Croma. A lot more choice if Vauxhall do heated leather

If the 159s are anything like the leather I have had in all of my previous ARs, then either the headrests or the top of the seat will be embossed with the AR badge.

Good point Evo, I had to look at a few sets before I found some without the Alfa badge. Mine just had the Momo logo embossed in the side of the front headrests.

Don't forget about the airbags in the sides of the seats (I think they're on all models). I wouldn't mess with them personally.

I'd assume the runner positions are dictated by the GM floorpan, but the computer is Fiat (which talks to the airbags). So I'd conclude it's pretty likely the seats are a Croma one-off. I'd like to be wrong though.

Good point. But I need all the door panels and the rear seats are definately different to other cars, not being a fully folding and higher backed type. If I was fitting just front seats, I'd be looking at saab 9-3 as they are very nice and as far as I know other than Volvo the only ones to be designed by osteo/chiropractors. Sitting in them the height and back support is noticably different to other cars.
