Search eBay for a "BMW Seat Wiring Harness" you will find a number of them for $30-$40 that have the right "donor" thicker gauge red & brown seat heater power wires, and more importantly the seat connector pins. I tried to buy the pins from Mouser but was told that they are a proprietary BMW component.

The red wire goes in pin 8 and brown in pin 13 on the seat connector, then wire in your commodity seat heating elements to the donor red/brown power wires.

Thank you for this! My 987 Spyder came w heated sport seats. I replaced them w the OEM buckets and always wanted to get heat in them, especially considering the car is wired already. I just didn’t know what pins in the harness to connect.

Got an aftermarket heating pads after I saw your post and installed them in the seats and now I’m a happy (and warm) guy.

Seats look great. Is the lever in front to slide fore and aft always so prominent or is it more concealed / retracted once installed?

ugh sorry meant to reply to @ljmartyre image of the gt2 seats from Carnewal
