Hi I'm new to the forum just bough a new zetec s and really want heated seats, any body fitted any aftermarket ones and if their as good as stand ones you get on other cars?

I'm guessing that aftermarket heated seats would be such a hassle to install as you'd have to cut open the seats and probably retrim it. Another option would be to look around for a set of heated leathers from another ZS and fit them, I'm assuming that the heating elements would still work as everything is contained within the seat.

I have just fitted a Weaco MSH-601 heated seat kit to my Titanium leather seats. To be honest fitting the elements in the seats was fairly easy. Finding a good spot for the switches was harder. Wiring is easy too as there is a fuse already for heated seats. Took about 4 hours in total.

Does anyone have genuine heated seats fitted? Can you upload a picture of the switch and where its fitted. Thanks

Have no pictures but its located on plastic on the bottom of the seat, on the corner pointing out towards the A-pillar.

Edit, here is a picture, its a lhd but should make no difference.

I have fitted a few sets of aftermarket heated seats that have been supplied by my customers but none of them are anything like as good as factory. look for a smashed up fiesta or focus and have elements wired in but put them through a relay not a fuse its safer.

The kit I bought has relays included. It looks very good quality and I can't fault it really. I'd recommend this kit to anyone. It was easy to fit with a good manual.
