I'm getting the parts together for my heated seats install on the 996 and am now faced with 3 options for the switches. Would appreciate your thoughts:
1: Factory location, in the 'batwing" in front of the gearstick.
Pros: factory location.
Cons: awkward to reach/passenger has to reach behind gearstick.
2: In the 'Horseshoe" either side of the radio.
Pros: Switches are easy to see/reach, removes two blanks as only 3 of the 6 are in use currently.
Cons: The driver's side switch is obscured by the steering wheel, not factory location.
3: In the centre console behind the window switches, where they are in a 986 Boxster.
Pros: easy to get to/see, removes the 2 blanks there for the cabriolet rear windows.
Cons: not factory location.
The switches for option 1 & 2 are the same but option 3 switches are a different orientation so I need to decide upfront.
