Adding heated seats?

What does it take to add heated seats to a 2002 B6 A4 that does not have them? I suppose you would have to start with a different set of seats with heaters in them...

I'm presently in the middle of this project on a B5

Need the following:

wiring harness is different, so you have to make one with the appropriate connectors

relays to control the seats

ac unit that has the openings for the rheohstats (temp switches)

seats with heating elements

That would be the OEM install...

otherwise you may just want to consider adding seat elements to the seats you have. There are several companies out there that sell kits.

just do a search for "aftermarket seat heaters" www.katzkin.com lists them.

I thought it might be involved. I'm sure the B6 is about the same. Do you think it will be worth your time and energy?

If he didn't I bet he wouldn't be doing the project

i got a deal on seats... the rest of the work I'm still working on

I got sport seats that are heated. I have standard seats now, so it is a 2 for one deal for me.

aftermarket heaters in the same seats is a lot less trouble than what I am doing... but i need to tinker so I am trying the oem approach
