Folks,

I'm seriously looking into doing this for the brats, because they just aren't spoiled enough

I think this should be doable for $300-350 from a company that OEM's seat heaters for mercedes. If i do this, i will post a nice how-to thread, but before i take it on i have a couple questions

1) has anyone removed the seat covers on the rear seats - any comments on how it went? easy? difficult? I have a quote from a local upholsterer for 250.00 so my worst case scenario is $ 600.00 - still not too bad.

2) under the drivers side rear seat, there is a two pin connector /harness that is unused - can anyone tell me what that is for?

3) looking for the nearest 10-15amp fusable power supply to the rear if you know where one is let me know.


Thanks,

Aceman

 

It's not a connector for heated rear seats if that's what you hope.

Mercedes does not offer this option.

You're looking at a wiring nightmare every time you fold the rear seats.

 

You looking to do this on the E500 or ... ?

 

Guess i need to update my sig.....picked up a GL320 during the crazy 10K incentive....

The cabling will not be as bad as you think. I realize the cushions fold in different areas & heated rear seats is an option in the "heating package" so i know benz offers it here in the states...

will keep you posted.

Monkeys see, monkeys do
Come back to the dealer, ask for the one with rear heated seats, and look at its under-the-back-cushion
My two cents
