I'm taking delivery of an 02 Cab, but the car was ordered without the heated seats option. Do you know if the heated seats option can be added by a dealer or by an after-market company?

After market is your best bet for the money.

You can buy the elements and the switch for less then $50.00 from here for a set of 4 pads . <a href="http://www.rameinc.com/seat_heaters.htm" target="_blank">R.A.M.E.</a> I did a set of GT3 seats with them. They're really helpful, and include a wiring diagram.

If you have the time, please smack the dealer upside the head for me for ordering a $90K cab w/o heated seats. I can understand this for a Boxster where price point may be an issue, but the lack of heated seats frustrated me when I was car shopping.
Cheers,

Dirk, Good point. When my dealer asked me if I wanted heated seats in my cab I looked at him funny and said that since I'm spending a little over $100K for a two-seater, I may as well be comfortable in it. I know a lot of Porsche options are expensive but the heated seats are one of the few items that seem well worth it. Now about the $750+ footwell lighting...

Have you tried an aftermarket hot water bottle?

With the GT3 seats it's easy, just pull off the cushions and put the elements under them. I know the regular and sport seat covers come off, how difficult that is I'M not sure. The elements come with a two position switch, and wiring directions which are straight forward. Just hook it to a switched electrical source, there is one under the seat. I hid the switches in the console.
