General Heated seats - have I got them?

[rickyt]

anyone know if the 1.6 dynamic has heated seats, both the seats in mine have wires connected underneath but no signs of a button to activate it, or are these wires for something else?

for the airbag sensors mate

If you have an extra gray and one white plug under the seat cushion, then you have heated seats (and backs). It's also a big black connection block coming from the floor, besides the airbag connector, OCS connector and seatbelt connector.

I'd be surprised if you had the wirings but not the button to activate it...

I think if you have heated seats on a Stilo it usually comes with electric adjustment aswell, so if you have the normal manual adjustments for the backrest & for sliding the seat forward & back, you won't have the heated seats. They seem to be mostly fitted to cars with leather interior, although overall seem a very rare option on the Dynamic trim. (My Stilo which has leather, still doesn't have heated seats).

Like everyone has said previously, the wires underneath will probably be for the side airbags. Don't prod and pull these wires at all though, coz you will more than likely be rewarded by a series of beeps & 'Airbag Failure' coming up on the dashboard!

You are wrong.

I've got manual adjustments on both seats. Up and down, forward / backwards, backrests and in the back itself. Nice blue velour trim.

Seats (cushion and backrest) on both sides are heated - and I've got Dynamic trim.

Stilos with the steering wheel on the righthand side don't have heated seats.

I have heated seated seats, the switch is on the plastic seat base at the front. When sat in the seat reach down, I think the drivers is on the right and passengers on left, ie on outside of the seat.
It's a push in switch, on/off no heat adjustment and no dash indicator.

I also have manaul seat adjusters

Same as mine. It's a strange position of the switch as it is like guessing if it's on or off - it differs with a millimeter or so. Only way is to feel the heat and smell your balls.

Whilst i was wrong, it would appear you are too, on your last point!
