Hi all

Im about to fit heated seat elements (bought from ebay) and just wondering before i take out the seats do i need to unconnect the battery due to the seats having air bags  in them. Any help much appreciated  thank you.

    I think you need to disconnect the battery for at least 30 minutes before having anything to do with airbags.

    Behind your radio there will be a switch live can tap into it for amps , omex , pretty much anything you want to work from turning on the ignition and switching off when the key is out of the ignition. A would use a fuse tho for a circuit braker incase anything go’s wrong

    Hi chaz84

    It's probably easier just to tap off the fusebox using a piggy back. At least then you can fuse it separately to the other circuits and the fusebox isn't much further than the stereo.
