Tacoma750

Well....I got all the parts in. I must say..MAN!!! This is a well put together kit. Very easy to understand. Here are some pictures of what i pulled out of the box.

^ You can see two pads, one for th ebottom and one for the top. The wiring was packed real nice. It has a built in fuse, and thermometer. IF the seats were to function wrong or way overheat, the thermometer shuts them off.
Here is a picture of the switches the Kit came with

Pretty nice switches IMHO. Good enough for the interior of the 86 ;-)
Below is a picture of where i mounted the driver/passenger switch. SOrry the interior is a MESS....its all torn apart from the seat install and radio install.



I got both units installed into the seats, and the wires 75% ran through the truck. Tomorrow, all thats left to do is run the wires from each kit through the fire wall to the battery. Then put a conector on and hook it upto the battery..and ground them. O then sit down and enjoy a warmed ass :-)

Where I live, that would never get used...
However, running my AC through my seats has crossed my mind from time to time...

How did you get these under the leather?

Tacoma750

The seats I have come apart pretty easily ;-) MUUCH easier then installing them in a regular seat. My seats are pretty much just pads, with the leather slip covers velcroed around them. So you undo the velcro, slide the heating pads in, and run the wires out the back/bottom of the seat. sneaky sneak haha

any idea on how much power they draw? couldnt find any info on their website

Tacoma750

# Wattage: 24~30 Watts per Pad, 48~60 Watts per seat. Current Draw: 4 Amps on Low Heat Setting and 5 Amps on High Setting per Seat.
