Is possible to put a heater in a seat? I have lovely custom leather seats in a Camry, so I don't want to replace the seat, but just put a heater in it. thanks John ///Owen\\\ wrote: > Is possible to put a heater in a seat?

I don't know for sure, but I would think it would be difficult to retrofit a heater to a seat that didn't have all the filler materials made to tolerate the heat of the warming unit, plus you'd need a warming unit that had built in temperature limiters. If carmakers used real vat-dyed leather instead of various types of bonded leather in their seats, the seats wouldn't feel cold in winter anyway. > ///Owen\\\ wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Texas in June :-) Now if you'd asked for ice-water circulation in the > seat, I'd be with you... Yeah. 95F at work today and 97F at the house. > ///Owen\\\ wrote: > [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > If carmakers used real vat-dyed leather instead of various types of bonded > leather in their seats, the seats wouldn't feel cold in winter anyway. No... I don't want a heater now - in fact I'm having a/c problems. Your comment on leather is interesting. My seats are custom leather and everyone says how great they look and how "leathery" they feel. So I guess I have the real McCoy Thanks John ///Owen\\\ wrote: > Is possible to put a heater in a seat?

A quick google search found this: http://www.comforthouse.com/winelseatcus.html Just plug it in and go. 40 bucks. > ///Owen\\\ wrote: >> Is possible to put a heater in a seat?

YOu have to remove the upholstery and then shape the foam to allow the heater to fit. -------------- Alex |
