No heated seats damn cold this morning, and reading through this forum, they are not an easy add on to your original seats.

any advice please .

Option 1) buy a set of second hand heated seats + the loom and retrofit

Option 2) Go to a specialist seat upholsterer and get them to fit (although probably won't have OEM switches)

Option 3) buy those mats on ebay for like £20 which just sit on top of your seats and plug into the cigarette lighter!

I'd love to retrofit heated seats to my E46 but it's just too much of a ballache!

Its crazy people dont spec heated seats in roadsters full stop, especially when they are like a £300 option. So many dont have them.

Im not the expert but I think its to do with the wiring loom obviously you need to get hold of some heated seats and a replacement panel with buttons and install a new wiring loom.

Can be done but its not a quick job and its getting hold of all the items that fit with your cars spec.

Rarely use them, they take too long to warm up.
