Title: heated rear seats
Post by: laney101 on 12 March 2016, 07:45:30: considering buying a 2.5 cdx 98 plate estate.

how hard would it be to fit rear heated seats.

will the loom be in centre console and under rear seat and simply need seats and be plug and play...

or is there more to it??

Mine is a 97/98 minute CDs estate so should be the same.

Apart from relay loom, all wiring in place.

In addition, obviously you still need switches and the seats with elements in.

Have two facelift kits here... £150 because I like you :-* ;D

You'll also need an Elite rear seat as they're the only one which have the heater elements...
