ok, well i found the heating elements with switches for car seats but has anyone here ever done it? im thinking about attempting it and i think the hardest part would be stitching the seat back together. any thoughts?

I'm pretty sure at least a couple of people did it with the Katzkin kits. Try searching under Katzkin.

Ya, I made my own heated seats. Really easy actually.

1. Buy ATX SHO
2. Get fed up with ATX shifting pattern.
3. Sell ATX SHO
4. Buy Saab 9000 CDE with 3 position heated seats.

All done thumbs_u

You won`t have to stitch the seat back together.After removing the covers,tracks,and bottom from the back assembly,the skins have zippers on them that allow you to unzip them right off.

You want heated seats? Come on down to TX. You'll get some REAL heat on your seats down here.
jasonty, haha, thanks for the offer, but trust me, the new york sun can get hot enough when youre in the Bronx :D but considering the amount of snow we're getting up here this winter its not a bad idea wink


jthomas68, thanks for the tip, wish i had known that before winter started, i would have had heated seats alot earlier frown

If you go to www.grandprixstore.com under interior accessories they make a universal heated seat kit. I think that it is about 99.00. I hope that answers the questions. It looks straight forward to install. I wish that i had a GTP sometimes. There are so many thinks that you can get for them and not for a 97 sho. :D
