View Full Version : Heated seats in a car without heated seats

My girl had a bad back injury when she was younger and it still bothers her today. She has a brand new toyota prius (yeah I know :eek:) and they don't have heated seats as an option but she would really love them. She drives all the time and has a 4 hour drive to school that she does constantly.

With winter weather coming on a christmas coming up I want to get her some heat in the seat :lol:. I'd prefer to have an upholstery place do it just to be safe. I can do it myself but I might not have the time and I'd like to have a warranty/ proffesional do it since it needs to be 100% reversible and look oem.

So does anyone know of a good upholstery guy or place that can do this? I'm gonna call the dealer but you guys don't think this will hurt the manufacturer warranty, right?

don't they make like seat covers that have heaters in them and stuff? maybe I am wrong but then she could use it in any car she would ride in...

Looks like this is the place: http://www.williamsautoseatcovers.com/. They seem pretty good but I'm trying to stay a bit closer since I need to get this done quickly so she won't suspect anything.

Yeah but I want this to look oem. Those things slide around, look like ****, and have wires hanging all over the place. I don't want her heated seats to plug into the ciggarette lighter haha.

I know its a prius but she really loves that car and I want this to be done right or not at all.
