Default Heated Seats

When I was searching for a 993, heated seats were a top priority for me. Unfortunately I soon learned that few cars came with this option. Anyway, I gave up and went for the best car I could find instead (wise move). Now, to add heated seats is there a kit or do I need to find seats from another car to swap them out?

Ahedau:

You can search for heated seats on the used market. they do come up now and then. or, if you are not worried about originality, there are lots of after market kits to add heating to any automotive seatd. A ggod aftermarket kit, with dual range heating for two seats will run you a little less than $300. A pair of prosche heated seats will run you least $700, and will probably need to be recovered at that price.
Good luck
Michael

Good point. I suppose if they came from a wreck they'd need to be recovered because the driver probably s#it their pants.

Porsche still sells the heating elements and foam separately so it should be possible to just mod your current seats.

I have heated seats in my cab--it sure prolongs the top-down season around here.
