Heated Seats....

Really odd request this one.

I need some heated seats switches but i want to keep it looking OEM stock, price of the Mazda part is stupid and they can't be had secondhand!

So whoever has heated seats could you measure the size of your switch faces & Surround, need to find some that look OEM and will fit just right

BTW i'm currently liking the look of the Focus switches :

Even the heater works with the roof down in that car

The top image is of the Mk2 Mondeo heated seat switches.
The bottom image is of the heated screen switches.

You could put the heated seat switch fronts on the heated screen 2 x switch bank. (To reduce size and the blank switches).

I think they suit your interior.

Cheers chris, some are up on e-bay at the moment, unless you know of any

just seems unecassary, that's all. how much added weight is involved?

Heated seats are needed in convertibles more than cars with a roof and double glazing.

Added weight is a negative figure, i've lost 2kg.

I think I have the heated window switches in my Mondeo left overs box in the attic.

Are you desperate to get this sorted? If so I can have a look tomorrow but otherwise will just bring them to the RR (pretty sure I have them).

The heated seat switches are a little rarer but not too hard to come across.

I might have a set of heated seat switches (the switch on one of them is broken, but if you're just pulling the bits of plastic off, it doesn't matter)...

I could have thrown them away though.

Of course... I'll see if I can dig them out.

The Saab ones are similar. slightly more square. But better still they allow you to set 3 heat levels so you can either have a nice low warmth, or a really hot seat

Interesting got any pics?

Look similar to these, a little more rounded iirc

Current 9-3 has two settings with LEDs to show off/1/2 settings.

Have you got leather seats now?

I've never seen heated seats in anything but leather.

Nice idea though, especially on those cold mornings.

The button for the heated seats in my 147 are down on the side of the seat, on the door side. I can go out with a ruler tomorrow if you like.

Heated seats are fantastic now it's getting a bit chilly, warm the kidneys up nicely
