Well, not a picture of the seats as you can imagine what they look like... But a picture of the switch mounting. Purchased the kit from Checkcorp or www.seatheater.com. Very nice people and they make a nice product. Had to cut up the harness a little bit to make things fit where I wanted them but it wasnt a big deal. Seats start to feel warm after about 6-8 minutes. Overall I am quite happy.

I think bun warmers are highly underated. I will consider this on all of my cars. I was just waiting to hear some first hand reviews before I went crazy and disassembled the benz leather seats. Ford pickup and 924s is no problem.
Do they get hot or just warm. Some factory seat warmers have a high/med/low setting. How about these kits??

it is low medium high and they do get hot... i think it is rated at 110 degrees for the highest setting... I think all together the kit ran about 300. The lights next to the switches go Red/Orange/Yellow.

How hard was it to install? I am curious about how hard it was to take the 944 seats apart to do it.

I recovered a set of old tattered sport seats so I was in there anyway... correcly doing the wiring and fitting the switches took ~3 hours. So I would say if you were experienced with a bit of work with upholstery you could do the whole thing in a day.
