Heated Cloth Seats

Fifo · #1 (**permalink**) 07-31-2007, 03:25 PM

I know the limited comes with heated seats, but I don't really want to buy a limited just for heated seats. Does anyone know of a way to add heat to the cloth seats?

Not with factory toyota, maybe with some sort of aftermarket, try Auto Parts, Motorcycle Parts, Car Parts, Truck Accessories & Parts, Auto Accessories - JC Whitney

I have never not had leather. Can you heat a cloth seat?

I have no idea, it's just that the only thing in the limited I really want is the heated seats, but I can't really justify that big an upgrade just for heated seats. I intend on using this vehicle to tow my Jeep though, and after a long and cold snow run getting into a vehicle with heated seats would a god send.

Many vehicles have heated fabric seats, however, you will most commonly see it as an option on cars with leather. We see it quite a bit up here in Alaska.

I found this at JC Whitney:

It's a little Ghetto, but worse comes to worse I could throw it in when I was heading up the mountains and take it off the rest of the time. What I would really like to do though is get something a little more permanent installed.

Try this one. I installed one in my miata for cold morning runs and they work great in my cloth seats.

I like heated seats. Even in Florida, I use the heated seats in my sedan. When it is 35 degrees out in the morning, the leather feels cold, and the heated seats feel great. It is a shame that the Tundra does not come with heated seats unless you get leather. It is so cheap, they should be standard, even with cloth.

My dealer offered heated seats for my cloth seats-$500. I am sure he was sending the job out.

I have the H2 seat heaters fron heatedseatkits.com in my truck. Their FAQ states OK to install under cloth. Had Classic Soft Trim install for 150 dollars. Could not be happier with results.
