Default Anyone have info on hooking up OEM heated seats in a car that didn't have them originally?

<center><img src="http://pictureposter.audiworld.com/25673/picture_036.jpg"></center><p>I want to get my sport seats heaters working before winter.

I know this has been asked before, but I can't find any definate info when searching.

Do I just need to add the switches, relays &amp; wiring &amp; plug it all in &amp; it will work?

Thanks.

I always thought all the cars were wired. Did they offer heated seats on your car new?
