Greetings -
I've owned an early 2011 for a short while. And after doing all the easy mods, I started on the heated seats today. I have the same universal kit that I've used in previous cars sitting here ready to go. So I began pulling the passenger seat fabric off, and what did I find? A factory heating pad right there on the seat cushion. I haven't checked for the back of the seat yet, but I'm guessing I've got one there too.
I can't be the first one to notice this. And I can't be the first one who'd like to energize those things. Seems really silly to install my aftermarket heat pads over the factory ones! So... is this a case of adding a fuse to the seat heat position, snapping in the factory heater switches and plugging in an existing harness? I've not seen an extra harness end yet, but then I haven't looked all that hard either.
Who wants to be my best friend and point me to where this has all been discussed and figured out already?
