Subject: What about heated seats?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed
With cool weather coming on here in NJ I am seriously thinking about
heated seats for my vans. I know that this was actually an option
somewhere (the parts are in the ETKA) however I have never seen a
factory Vanagon heated seat install. Anyone done this conversion with
an aftermarket kit they can recommend? Is there any interest in a
heated seat kit if I could get one together for the Vanagon? I think
the price point would be around $199 per seat but I may be able to get
it lower if there is a enough interest. We could do a group purchase if
there are enough folks out there with cold buns.
If you have never had or driven in a car with heated seats you might
think, "Why bother?" However once you have a car with it is
difficult to live without. Imagine jumping into a freezing cold Vanagon
and within a minute you are warm (at least a major part of you is).
Instead of the normal 5-7 minute wait for the van to get warm enough to
put out some heat. It makes a big difference in your comfort level and
I think it would be a great mod.
What do you folks think?
