4 wheeled car.
only way to get heated seats is to get a heating pad thing and wire it up etc... ask Mark Cummins.

The preforations in the seat have nothing to do with heated seats. Adding heated seats seems like a waste. Use your money for better upgrades.

Hum and Heated Seats

I believe there is actually a small fan in the overhead unit which pulls in cabin air so that the temperature of ist is measured more accurately for the HVAC system controls.

As to the heated seats, I have them and thouroughly enjoy them on frosty morning commutes here in Mssouri. They work well but could be hard to add as the heating element goes between layers of the seat padding.

Being in So. Cal. you may want to contact Berg Werks. They make the conversion all the time unless you want to do it yourself.
