Heating elements for GT3 bucket seats?

Hi,

I've recently removed my heated memory seats, fitting 996 GT3 bucket seats and would like to get them heated if possible.
Does anyone know it the heater elements can be bought separately and connected up to the original connector under the seats?

Thanks
 
I'd think it's doable, do you have the leather gt3 style buckets from D911.

I'd be checking the wiring and switching on the existing loom to see how it's configured. The switches are two stage, I assume this gives different voltage outputs to obtain the low and high temp setting.

You'll need to see if the bottom seat pad is easily openable and that the heated pads are not too wide and long.

Here's a kit, loads available

Good luck
 
Thanks,

I've got genuine GT3 seats and have swapped the leather centre covers for alcantara.
The bottom seat covers are Velcro'd so it's easy to install the heater pads. There are in 2 sections so I'd need two smaller pads.
The back cushion is sewn closed so I'd need to unstitch it to insert the pad.

Does anyone have a link to the heated seat wiring diagram?
 
I vaguely remember a thread for exactly this somewhere else a great many moons ago. I think it was on RennTech.org (which I haven't been on for years now), so if nobody has answers on here it might be worth a search to see if it is still there somewhere... Failing that, the other US centric forums tend to have a lot more DIY stuff in general so there are places to trawl for old threads.
 
Great, thanks for the tip. I think I have a log on so will take a look.
