It has been done many times .....
Whenever you buy replacement leathers for your car (even if you have fabric you buy leather) the seats always come with heating in the W209 and W203.
In the W202 / W463 / W168 the heater is a pad not part of the leather.
You need to check under your seat for starters.
Shopping list
-------------
* switch row with seat heater icons
* wiring harness
* replacement seat leathers (headrest is not heated)

I would love to do this to my ride. I bought used and it didn't have that option. How would one go about installing this feature? Is it easier to have it done at the dealership and how much would they charge? I've always wondered about having options installed on a used car weeks or months after the purchase. I had heated seats in my GTI and they were most comfortable especially for people with bad backs. I miss that feeling because it was most therapeutic, seriously. How do I get started?

And I use mine everyday! I rarely turn on my actual Heat and use the Heated Seats instead. Just bought I kit to do my drivers seat on my W201 as well. They do not stay hot as hell when set to setting 1 so normally I use the two setting and let it switch to 1 and never use my heat. Which is why I got them for the W201. Some use them a lot some use them only when really cold.
