Hello everyone. I want to install aftermarket Seat Heaters/Warmers on my new 2009 Outlander but i before i purchase them, i want to see how hard it's going to be. I found a couple sites that sell Seat Warmers:

http://www.heatedseatkits.com/
http://www.checkcorp.com/seat-heater/seat-heater.asp (these guys have installers close by)

Both of these website claim to be easy.

Has anyone done this successfully? Are there any good sites about how to do this? Anyone got a How to dismantle the seats diagram? Thanks in advance!

 

Don't forget you have side airbags in the upper bolsters of the seats. When I read the instructions at the heatedseatkit website they said if you have side airbags you need to follow the manufacturers instructions in dealing with them.

 

Aww nutz.. so probably not recommended to DIY eh? I don't want the airbags to stop working.. lol.. probably not a good trade off....

Anyone try doing this? I was hoping someone would have already done this and could give some pointers and pictures.. I contacted my local Mitsubishi dealer and they said they don't install seat warmers... Buuu!

 

Here's an alternative to installing the warmers in the seat. If you do a google search on "car seat cushions" you will see there are companies who sell seat cushions that have built in warmers. Most of ones I've seen plug into the DC outlet and cost between $120 - $170.
