if you have a spare cig lighter socket to plug it in. They are seat covers that
you can put right on top of your seats. I think some one could take a pair of
these and some foam and have the wife sew some fabric to the sides and bottom
making them into custom heated seats. What do others think?
Canadian veiwers can get a product very simular at Canadian tire for $80. Go figure.
These guys are making a simular product for $50

you might want to consider using this list to select your seat maker.
This company sells three different types.
1 - one setting - not recommended (by me)
2 - hi/low setting - these will do just fine
3 - dual temperature system - not sure exactly what this means. It could mean that
the seat back could be made hotter than the seat bottom. This would be a great
feature as I have found that if you have a bulky jacket on, you are insulated
from the true toastyness that is possible. The seat bottoms are always toasty
through a pair of jeans but sometimes more on your back would be better.
I have also seen some European cars with fully variable reostats controlling the
seat heating. This is what that motorcycle vest making company uses that was
talked about here a week ago. He claimed the reostat is $80 of the price.
I forget what my electric seats use for power but I think it was 4 amps per seat
on low. The current flows through a carbon fiber mesh that in installed just
under my leather seatcovers. Fabric seatcovers might deliver more bang for the
buck.
