Retro fitting heated rear seats
Just collecting parts to retro fit rear heated seats in my ML63, anyone done this?
Harness is the biggest problem, where does it plug in?
Any help or pictures please.

thinking of the same project. Does anyone know how to remove the seat covers from the rear seats? I want to take the seat covers off to see if i can only fit OEM heating pads or is an aftermarket product would be a possibility but the bottom and back portions look solid, could not find any instructions online as well....

We have a local shop add 2nd row rear heated seat with aftermarket components - switch control installed B pillar - $800 all in - have no idea on OE component install - haven't priced out those components.

Thank you for starting the thread Zenman
I had to replace a 2nd row ( rear ) seat cover, valet had destroyed seat leather with over cleaning, anyhow, Can't replace just one seat, Rear seat covers came with heating elements.
I might as well take on a new mission to have them connected. Front heats are already heated.
I need the cable wiring and rear seat heating modules, This can be found somewhere or ordered.
What I am desperately short of is the layout of the modules and wiring cables, where are they fixed under which seats and how, how many modules would I need, one for each side., and the cable that runs from module to the console.
I think, you can tell the level of my expertise and that I do need to be guided. I can do visual to a certain point and get someone who can read to follow thru with the rest of the cabling. Would I need individual pcs of cabling or or a harness. I am in the dark here without any pictures.
What I really need is pictures of the modules and cable layout beneath both rear seats so I can follow suit
Does anyone know, if I need to replace both rear and front heating / AC consoles.
Could someone please share pictures of the seats layout.
Can someone please shed some light on this, I appreciate that very much. Thank you so much.
