has anyone got heated seats in their coupe?? i was in my mate cadillac and i think they are brilliant in the winter. I know there is a fuse for heated seat in the coupe but no seat that can actually heat . any ideas on which heated seats actualy fit?

Good question, I had a Bravo HGT which came with heated leather seats, should have been the same on the coupe but clearly not!

iv had bravo hgt 155 20v
it had heated seat
but my coupe 16vt hasnt.
my guess is that the coupe 20vt has.
can anyone confirm?

even the HLX bravo came with heated seats i was a bit disappointed when i found the coupe didnt

If you bought some heated seats from another car/aftermarket it would only require wiring them up (usual a simple +/- feed or switch)

mine didnt if my old seats were heated and i didnt know and now iv thrown them away i will be

is it anything to do with wieght?
why the coupe never had them,i heard that heated seat's wiegh the car down alot?
maybe it would of effect speed?
maybe not who no's?

Well my 20VT definately doesnt have heated seats not unless there is a secret hidden switch!

On the Bravo it was located near the metal bar for moving seat forwards / backwards.

Seems silly that the better equiped coop has inferior seats than the bravo

surely not isnt there any way to sortof get a heated pad that goes under the seats covers which will keep you warm. i want heated seats now

nah nothing to do with the weight ,they only use heated pads to heat the sethe at up only weigh 2-3 lb more in weight .

No UK model Coupe was fitted with heated seats from factory I am afraid.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Heated-Seat-Kit_W0...A1%7C240%3A1318 what you think of these?? do you lot recon they'll be any good?

i thought that when the day i picked my coupe up.
i was hoping to warm my bum and to my amazment there was no button to switch them on,wounded
oh well the fan heater's and air-con[my bravo never had]is good enough for me.
i love my coupe and not having heated seat's did surprise me but not enough to put me off my beloved coupe.

there is a great how to guide on the fiat bravo forum about repairing the heated seats on a bravo. taking that info it should be reasonably easy to apply to any seat

if i had a) the time, and b) a spare set of leather front seats i would defiantly give it ago....i just don't want to wreck my existing seats by accident.

having looked though the owners manual it does how ever make reference to heated seats

I believe it was an option on the European model ? German I think possibly.

is another country's did have coupe heated seats factory fitted to it then i assume the heating pads can be purchased ....

samsite999 - maybe can buy a cloth seat from the scrappy to experience on ..... :-)

thats it, it is now my goal in the next month to make my seats heat only problem is, that weather i starting to warm up so is their any point at the moment lol

I remember the bravo heated leather seats were not too clever, didnt heat up that well!

The ones on the new S3 can burn your arse if you're pants aren't thick enough.

And if you look at the warning lights on the dash (easier when you`ve got it removed for bulb replacements) there is an unused light for the heated seat .

Baz

were the heated seat light should be on mine, there is a very annoying passenger air bag warning. it flashes on start up to tell me its armed
i know its bloody armed, i switched it on!

in the hand book it does say something about heated seats

yeh i remember reading that when i first bought the car. I was outside for about half an hour looking for a heated seat switch!

haha me too.........but no joy :-(

tbh mate,if yu wanted to it could be done.

hard to tell without actually seeing the kit.

The trouble with any otf these kits is they have to be exactly the right size mats to enable the mats to st between where the seams are on the seat base and back, as under the seams there are little bars which clip down into the foam, which wont work if the pad doesnt fit right and you'll end up having a baggy leather seat.

saying that, there should be a lot of different kits available as many different designs of seats are available as a heated option.

would need to check first though.

Afaik it was a euro option only

on my car there is a blank plug at the side bottom part of the seat that looks like it should hold a switch.

this wasn't on my other coupe's

If you where really desperate you could buy them off german ebay sometimes.

I have heated seats

I have them too.

Most things were standard on the 20V models (a/c, etc) but I think the heated seats were extra. Will have a look at the order form tonight

when i bought my alfa 147 the "winter pack" was an extra....heated seats and headlamp washers.
