Driven2ride Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 i noticed that the 2.5i non limited and the GT non limited have identical seats. when i took apart my arm rest a month back i noticed that there were wires that seemed like they would connect to butt heat switches. do you think its possible that the 2.5i's seats come with the heating element already in the chair just no connectors? thanks guys Jon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest *Jedimaster* Posted January 8, 2005 Share Posted January 8, 2005 I'm sure that the heating elements aren't in there, but you could always retrofit them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Driven2ride Posted January 9, 2005 Author Share Posted January 9, 2005 subaru is the first car company i've seen it with, but im really curious to know if i hooked up switches to connector i found right where the switch would be... if my ass woudl start heating up- if it does what a flaw on them!

panamajack Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Yeah non-limited GT's come with heated seats as well. Are there any aftermarket racing seats that allow you to include the heat seat function? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John M Posted January 9, 2005 Share Posted January 9, 2005 Find out if the parts department lists two part numbers for the seats. If not, odds are it's got the heater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamgt Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Land Rover does the same thing. On the Discovery models, the only thing you are gaining with the "heated seat package" are the switches to turn them on. The wiring is there, the elements are there, but there are no switches. You pop out the blanking plates and pop in some switches (cheap through the parts department) and you've got heated seats. I think most manufacturers do it this way.

firedawgs Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 I wonder why Subaru chose to run some wires (heated seats), but not others, like the subwoofer; which I just did today??? Updated my vBGarage: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Driven2ride Posted January 10, 2005 Author Share Posted January 10, 2005 ahh, so basically- get the switches and i have heated seats? maybe ill order a set of switches from subaru and see if it works. if it works - i think they may have done it b/c it would have been less expensive to produce 1 type of chair with all the work that goes into it, instead of 2 different ones just b/c of a heating element. does anyone else know anything about this?

Screaming2.5 Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 Very strange that you don't have heated seats. I have a 2.5i with a manual tranny and I HAVE heated seats. It was not an option. Hmmmm, maybe a question for Subaru... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
