I never knew I would love heated seats this much
So once I finally put my GXP seats in a few months ago I said ok this was enough for now, I'll hook the heated seats up later...
after freezing my a** off when I got into my car which had cooled down to the outside temperature of 22F I said yah time to hook all that up
spent 3 and a half hours tearing the center console apart, adding 2 pins to the wiring harness of the RIM, added a wires from the fuse block for ignition power and one for battery power, ran 4 wires inbetween the switch in the center console and seat connector, add all that up and what do you get...? A very warm behind while driving, took a 5 minute ride to test it out and I love it
now I just have to run 4 more wires from the switch to the passenger seat and 4 from the drivers seat to the passenger seat since I already ran the wires to there

I had heated seats in a Bravada I had, loved it except the few times in the summer when I bumped the switch and sat there wondering why my back side is getting wet. The switch was in a stupid place that made bumping it very easy. Now I'm wishing I had heated seats.

The cooled seats are cool, but the leather doesnt get that hot in the summer, what I wish I had was a heated steering wheel like GM has done on some Cadillacs
