You can just bend the hog rings open with some pliers and they will come out. When you go to replace just use zip ties in the existing holes from the hog rings.
Don't be stupid. They use hog rings for a reason. Do a sloppy job, cut corners and it will result in a poor installation in time. Suck it up and do the hog rings. You can cut them off with side cutters. Luckily, the newer cars use easy to remove hooks.
@@richardweyland116 Zip ties work just fine. If anything, it makes it easier to take back apart when these inevitably go bad and you need to tear it back apart in 1 or 2 years. I've gone though 3 sets of these kinds of pads per front seat and they all fail in the same way. Some of the wires fail overtime and starts to burn a hole in your seat. And no, it's not a bad install, every time it's gone bad has either been the temperature sensor, or some wires on the edge of the pad, nowhere near any possible pinch points.
Skip the add a circuit. Factory circuits are designed for factory functions. All wiring should be rated for 125% of the maximum current draw. Go straight to the battery or the supply stud for the fuse block if its not accessible. Other than that nice work! Emergency vehicle upfitter here in NJ
Hey, I'd like to go to the battery, but how do I achieve auto off with the ignition? Do I need to install a dedicated solenoid for accessory additions that's triggered by an ignition positive?
Sweet Dude! now that was thorough, I had bought the doorman seat pads, I asked how much for one of my local shops he quoted me $4000.00 like hell no! but now i have faith I can definitely do this THANKS! Oh I drive a 2016 Jetta too!!!!
it's cool that you can find these heating elements aftermarket. The switches look like factory. Nice job on the install, except for cutting the anchor point, that made me cringe a bit. lol!
Cringe is right. Cutting the channel is condemned by nearly all professionals. Eventually, the fabric is going to get loose from sliding in and out of the seat and will look like crap. Typical short cut taken by inexperienced young people. There are much better aftermarket kits than what he is hawking. High and Low only is ghetto. I have a 5-position selectable dial switch. If you’re going to do this, get a little quality. Very little additional cost. This video was as useful as a broken leg.
Thanktls guys. Have you ever done ventilated seats? Other question: what options do you have if you want to get those "tucked in" lines on the seats? Thanks❤
A lot of confused people on here i see. I do upholstery and install these all the time. The bottom cushion was installed incorrectly. First off you put it on backwards. The heat starts closest to the side where the wiring is. So when you turn them on, your leg area will warm up before your butt will, it should be the other way around. Also you do not need to cut the listing out. You can cut a hole in the seat heater to clip it in. You can also cut the heater smaller to fit correctly. But yes you can install them on cloth seats. Many new model vehicles are coming with heated seats even with cloth.
When people order them off of you, can they feel the pads on when they sit in the chair? I’m worried if I get them done I’ll feel it and it’ll annoy me if I get them installed 😭
What about a bench seat? I’m thinking of doing this for the front two seats and rear bench seat for my future 04-05 suburban are there separate kits for bench seats? Or just run these?
dude, this video was SO perfect in every way. keep it up. i appreciate your fine craftsmanship. gonna install these in my tundra under my Clazzio leather covers. should be a little easier
Hello, Chevy Cruse 2017 I have two heated seat kits, the instructions state to "Locate an onboard power supply that is able to deliver a continual 10 amp current while the vehicle is running". I have found two fuse locations that I would like to use for the two heated seats I purchased. One is the F13 25 AMP fuse, original use heated seats. The second is the F11 20 AMP fuse, original use sunroof. Both of these fuses are not in use as I do not have either function. My question is this, the kit comes with a 10 amp relay that will be tied to the fuse tap that comes from the fuse box and then tied to the heated seat to provide power. How should I handle this situation? What AMP tap should go into the fuse box and what fuse should go into that tap. All help is greatly appreciated Thank you, Mat
Great video! I have a 2015 Mazda 3 GT with heated seats, love it! Replacing my old ranger with a 2018 Colorado but it doesn't have heated seats....I don't know if i can live without them lol. I only drove my Ranger sparingly but I will drive the Colorado a lot more so i want them.
Say what was the the electrical tool you used to check which fuses had power and which fuses didn't have power to them. Brand and model please if you have that info. Thanks a ton
Thanks for the vid, can you hook the control up to your car head-unit/computer so you can turn them on from your android computer instead of drilling holes for the switches?
3 months? No answer? Lol ignorance on their part. It'd be a voltage sensor mate. Even a voltage sensor reader as it provided a reading of voltage. Brand I don't know but uncle Google with help with the correct words typed in.
My Civic came with heated cloth seats from the factory so it’s not that big of a deal. As more and more “basic” cars come with them heated cloth seats are becoming more popular
I have a question, i have the same jetta with heated seats, so when i press the button for it, it goes on hottest but then nothing happend the seat dont get warm, whats the problem? Has it something to press or?
What did you wire the hot wire to? I know the ground wire goes to a metal part of the actual vehicle, but what did you connect the hot to? Did you splice it with another hot wire that is used to power another feature on the vehicle?
I'd love to see this done to rear seats! I have a saab 9-5 today and the front seats has heaters but not the rear, I'd really like to do it, maybe it's basically the same procedure? how accessible are back seats?
Mozaffer Abbasi SAABs are fairly easy to take the back seat out of. Should be just a few bolts holding it all together. Itll be easier to do than the front seats.
If i have seat covers on my car, can i put the under the seat covers? i mean between the originals and the protections ? Or the pads must be placed on the sponge?
The supply wire needs to be a suitably rated size for the heaters. Car stereos would normally be too low to supply heaters and you risk just blowing the stereo fuse, or melting the wiring at worst.
So there is no fuse for the heated seats? Also the seats won't stay tight since you cut that. After a few months to a year it will probably start looking loose like an old aftermarket car seat cover. However, it's your friend's car so as long as he doesn't mind no big deal.
I appreciate this question is a year old, but some kits have fuse taps, others don't. If they come with the kit you'll likely three different types, two of which you won't use. If not the taps are cheap enough to buy either through Amazon, eBay or a decent local motor factor.
I’m putting 15% tint on top of my 20% tint to make it darker, does that basically even out to what would be 5% limo tint? Will it be darker then 5% since it’s double layered?
Yes I have 20% but want to know if I should do 15% over it. I’m thinking of 5% over the 20 but I think that would be too dark, so 15 over 20 is basically 5 then?
+Kevin yes 5 over 20 will be extremely dark but could still be manageable, would recommend as close as 20% over 20% as possible it will net you about 5% tint
you can use just a regular meter from harbor freight or something cheap. just touch something metal in the car with the black probe and with the red probe, go to any fuse you wish to check.
Hey Ryan. Thanks for your vid. Just wondering. I have a car with heated seats that I bought used. The seats are in a 2013 Sorento. They are not leather, not cloth but rather like comfortable vinyl. Can I steam clean the seats? Would I damage the seat warmers? They were factory installed. Should I take my car to have seats professionally cleaned instead. Please let me know. Thanks!
I did this same install on a 17 Jetta with the same kit and it interferes with my passenger occupancy sensor Did you have this issue? Did you do anything specific to avoid it?
Yes we usually just cut it right before it so it doesn’t touch it, if you really don’t want the light and the whole seat covered you can unplug the occupancy sensor under the seat
Not crazy about having to drill into the dash but it's probably no other way I wish it would be able to use the buttons that came with the vehicle unmarked
decius marius yeah that's definitely not true. I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra value addition and it has cloth seats and my seats are heated from the factory so you can put heated seats in cloth

Thank you for explaining this very well. You both did an amazing job with his new heated car seats..

@J J or you could burn your car up, what ever floats your boat 🤷🏼♂️
Exactly this. Selecting a circuit not rated for the current and you're at risk of causing a fire

Maybe wire the ground from the element into the ground for the main relay or something

Biggest question I have right now is there a risk when it comes to heated cloth seats since most heated seats are leather
My Civic came with heated cloth seats from the factory so it’s not that big of a deal.
As more and more “basic” cars come with them heated cloth seats are becoming more popular
Can I install this heating sits on any car? Or its just VW?
Fernando Ramirez any car!
Thanks men!

What was the spray for ?
Hello, do I need to disconnect battery before removing seats? Thanks
No just unplug the connector
Yes if you have Airbags otherwise no
I love your dog!
What did you wire the hot wire to? I know the ground wire goes to a metal part of the actual vehicle, but what did you connect the hot to?
Did you splice it with another hot wire that is used to power another feature on the vehicle?
Normally you would want to connect that to the control, and that goes to your fuse box to power it.
I miss these simple videos
Where can I order the heated seat pads and wire harness from?
eBay, Amazon, AliExpress and basically any auto accecory store
Hey , in the holder fuse, you connected ground and positive?? in the same socket?
I'd love to see this done to rear seats! I have a saab 9-5 today and the front seats has heaters but not the rear, I'd really like to do it, maybe it's basically the same procedure? how accessible are back seats?

If i have seat covers on my car, can i put the under the seat covers? i mean between the originals and the protections ?
Or the pads must be placed on the sponge?
Nice vids man. Subscribed. Hope to learn some cool how to's!
Is there any reason I could not just put on new seat covers and put the heaters under those? Thanks
That’s what I’m gonna do. Install them into aftermarket seat covers
Would running the power wire to my remote wire in my radio work?
The supply wire needs to be a suitably rated size for the heaters. Car stereos would normally be too low to supply heaters and you risk just blowing the stereo fuse, or melting the wiring at worst.
So there is no fuse for the heated seats? Also the seats won't stay tight since you cut that. After a few months to a year it will probably start looking loose like an old aftermarket car seat cover. However, it's your friend's car so as long as he doesn't mind no big deal.
works and looks wonderful
Quick question, does this still work with leather seat covers currently installed?
Do those fuse taps come with the kits or have buy separate
I appreciate this question is a year old, but some kits have fuse taps, others don't. If they come with the kit you'll likely three different types, two of which you won't use. If not the taps are cheap enough to buy either through Amazon, eBay or a decent local motor factor.
How much would a shop charge to install?
any newer updating link?
find one?
anyone have an update link to these heating pads?
Are these a fire hazard? Will they get too hot if left on?
Not a fire hazard if fitted correctly. They will have a built-in thermostat to keep them at a comfortable temperature.
did you not have to use a ground wire to the frame in any way?
Got updated links to a set? These don't open
I’m putting 15% tint on top of my 20% tint to make it darker, does that basically even out to what would be 5% limo tint? Will it be darker then 5% since it’s double layered?
+Kevin it will be relatively close to 5% maybe 4% if your doing 15 and 20
Yes I have 20% but want to know if I should do 15% over it. I’m thinking of 5% over the 20 but I think that would be too dark, so 15 over 20 is basically 5 then?
+Kevin yes 5 over 20 will be extremely dark but could still be manageable, would recommend as close as 20% over 20% as possible it will net you about 5% tint

This is the same music Robbie Ferreira uses lol knew it sounded familiar

Heated seats are for leather seats. Makes sense. Leather is cold as f*ck in cold. Cloth? You sit in and nothing happens.
Bro I'll pay you to do this for me
I'm confused I was led to believe that you couldn't put heated seats in cloth only leather please explain
decius marius yeah that's definitely not true. I have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra value addition and it has cloth seats and my seats are heated from the factory so you can put heated seats in cloth
I had heated seats in cloth on a 2007 Mazda3. Definitely not true. I believe cooled seats are reserved only for leather though.
