i did a search and couldnt find anything about heated seats... were they an option in 3rd gens? or an option on 4th gens??? i need some heated seats for my iroc that would fit and be heated.... any suggestions? any one ever use any other brand of heated seats in their camaros???? :hail:

 

I am about 99% sure that http://summitracing.com or http://jegs.com sells a kit for this. It converts your normal seats to heated.

 

did a search on both of theirs site and nuthin'...... do u know if 3rd or 4th gens had heated seats? and if their interchangable?

 

I know that on Lexus cars(I work at a Lexus dealership) they use a Peltier system. You say it like this Pel-tee-a. Anyway, it is basically a grid that is grafted into the foam of the seat cushion and has electricity going to it. On one setting it heats, but if you reverse the polarity, you get seat a/c.

 

I almost forgot that you also need some type of fan to blow air through the Peltier element or it won't do squat!

 

buy a seat heating kit and install it under the leather... it wasn't an option. very nice though as i love it in my gtp.

 

i thought i saw your car in a magazine once?? not sure chevy hi-performance i think....

 

nope not mine....

 

LOL

 

yes it was september 2004 chevy high performance and my popular hotrodding is out now for the february 2005 issue. thanks for noticing.

 

I installed an aftermarket heater element pad in a stock tahoe seat a few years back. Pretty easy install. And worked very quickly, which is key.
I can't remember the company though.

Kandied: What brand do you have in the GTP?

 

ive watched a friend put one on in high school.. i donno the brand.. but it was pretty simple. this heating element goes under the seat cover

then you run the wires under the carpet to the control thingy... and you mount the switch/dial wherever you want it and connect that to the control.. then you give it power and set it to the temp you want it...


it had a bunch of warnings on it about how you could burn your car down, pro install reccomend, ect.... i donno much about it, but i remember it made me nervous.... if i were to get one, i would want one that has some kind of automatic thermal regulator on it... so it cuts off if it gets too hot or if its on too long....

 

yeah, your ride is tight! hopefully my iroc will be like next summer.... if my money is right! so ... does anyone know if 4th gen came with heated seats????

 

nope. it was never a factory option.

 

GM? they are a factory option in the grand prix.

 

yeah this was a common problem with the aurora... those things would go and go until you burnt your rear. the one in my grandprix has a resisted regulator that maintains a steady heat after it's reached a certain point.

i've seen the same kits go for 1-150 a seat.

 

will the grandprix fit in the iroc?

 

i would think so... probably cost you a pretty penny unless you were fortunate to find the equipment at a junk yard. could try it though.

I was recovering the base of both my seats so I found some heating pads that are going in there. Its not as good as having a heated back as well but it'll do for now.

 

I'm saving up for an upholstery job and I was thinking about this too...might as well go one step further and get them with massage =)

Massage and Heat Seats

 

id be alot more intrested in some form of Peltier element system.... liquid or air or whatever....

i donno about you, but most of the time, i would like leather seats to be COOLER... heating in the winter is nice, but leather makes your back sweaty most of the year.... a "AC" seat would be nice.

 

i agree mr.dude.... i may have to swipe a pr of luxury seats from the bone yard and get expert in welding to fab the brackets??? sound good???

 

Heated seats would be great in a thirdgen, I know I love the heated seats in my Suburban.. :hail: :hail:

 

YUP! my mom has a 1998 Suburban, and it has the heated seats to! :hail:

 

what about monte carlo seats.. omg their so fcken nice.. heated too
