Yes it's possible, it won't be oem though unless you buy all the bits. The hardest bit will be removing the seat covers.

ha i hope your advice is free!!ive just read the other thread lol....its gonna be to much hassle in it.im a bit of a perfectionist and like standerd factory fitted stuff im afraid.

standard sorry

There was a heater panel of the bay of e with the heated seat switches, £75 irc. You would then need the heaters, the loom etc. a vw dealer is selling retro kit albeit for a mk iv golf and it was £280. I'll post the links when not on the iPad

i have heated seats in mine. I'm glad I spec'd them but tbh if I had another vRS without them I wouldn't miss them - they take a lot longer to warm up than the gti I had before, something to do with the different seat material i guess.

ie you might go through a lot of £ and hassle and then be disappointed - just a thought..

I hear this time and again from Skoda owners with heated seats. Maybe it's because I went for the factory "leather" option on my car too, however the heated seats and hot within seconds of me switching them on. In fact I'll be hardly a mile down the road before I have to switch them from 3 to 2 as they are simply too hot.

have heated seats on superb and to be honest if they didnt come with the elegance spec i would not have payed the extra.but now i have them i couldnt be without.im getting out the car like the readybreck man :sun: :sun: !!! heeted steering wheel would nice to lol...............

heated steering wheel now your talking, you can get them in Landrovers or Kia Picantos .....

kia picnick what :giggle: !!i think robs right to much hassle,hes the man! i love his blog and his gti skirts...........

Aldi heated seat covers will do the trick, they do work, cheap as well,fit any seat, only downside the seat lookes like its wired to a life support system but hey you have a warm bum without any work or stress, sell the car keep them for the next.

Ha Ha very funny it was a joke but i would do it before i ripped my new seats apart, joking apart i have had them on many bmw m/cs they are greaaaat but i would not retro fit them on leather seatsin a new car .mainly because im a coward and tight

I have heated seats in my L&K and have really appreciated them the past week or so. They heat up before I get to the end of the road where it takes the heater a good 10 minutes or so to get warm.

I have the alacantra trim and not leathe if it makes a difference.

Having said all that, I would'nt count them as a must have when I buy my next car.
