Default The UrS4 has them. It's definitely possible.

You can get the seat heater elements from the dealer. The the switches, relays and wiring from the front of a junked 90 and extend it to the back.

Default cant be too hard.....

2 ways to do it....

first is to get the heaters, sensors, switches out of a junker's front seats, then install them under the rear seats....you have 4-6 seperate heating elements there...

SECOND (easiest) is to buy an aftermarket one....did i mention its easier?

Default I've wondered as well but then there's the gas tank right there...

anyone think that would be an issue? Probably not, I'm sure the tank is well isolated etc but the thought just came to mind as a possible hazard.

Default Our old 5ktq had them too...

They use a weight sensitive deal, and are turned on via the front passenger seat rotary switch IIRC.

Default It's possible but expensive. Contact a good car upholstery shop like Orlandos.

You will probably have to wire in another switch and run wires
in the trans tunnel. But it can be done. I was thinking about
doing it in my CQ but now thats a project for my Ladies 90.....
after I fix and replace her taillite.

Heeeyyyyyy....why are my wheels in your picture poster????

BTW...my current buyer who has sent me $$ seems kind of flaky. I was sent a regular check and am waiting to see if it clears. If this falls through they will up for sale again....
