Nice..

RandyD · 02-07-2013, 09:43 AM

how much are you guys expecting to shell out for the heated seat upgrade?

eastwest2300 · 02-07-2013, 09:52 AM

It wasnt much. Less than $80 for the heat sensors, and Im doing the install. Last night I removed the leather from the seats, and today the sensors should come via UPS.

I wonder if a base model Z has the wiring already ran for a Touring seat conversion, or if I'd have to run and make taps myself. Anyone know any info about this as for next winter heated seats would be nice.

Let me just say this, upholstery is a serious pain in the azz. I guess thats why shops charge you an arm and a leg to upgrade what you have.

In my case it was $80 for the heating kit and $299 for my new seat covers.

From what I've seen other members do, there is already a wiring harness to plug in the Touring seats if you swap them out from a Base.

Oh bro, I knew how it was, I replaced my cloth seats with a leather upgrade in my eclispe, thats 2 seats, a back bottom seat and 2 flip down seats, it took all day and most into the night.

And I'm guessing the Airbag sensors would just be unplug/plug in as well too??

Hmmm...

eastwest2300 · 02-07-2013, 09:58 AM

Steve, thanks for giving me a heads up with disconnecting those harnesses under the seat, in mine, there were 3, and the main security unit is actually located under the seat.

RandyD · 02-07-2013, 10:01 AM

dealer was quoting $500 for upgrading the bottoms of 2 seats in the new Rogue... not sure if that's worth it.. sounds like it's close.
