Heated Seats On All V35's?

[WazR32GTSt]

ok so i came across this thread on G35driver..

http://g35driver.com/forums/showthread.php?t=199456

and it turns out that in the USA, all G35's that have power seats have the heater elements pre-wired into them!

all you have to do is find the plug under the centre console and plug in the OEM switches and the heaters work

note that this is on the sedan in the above thread

so i was thinking, i wonder if the seat setup is the same for the V35? i know that heated seats were offered on the 70th anniversary V35's

it would be easy for us to simply use fast to see if there are different part numbers for the different seats. if not, and they have the same part number then its probably simply that the seat is the same but usign a different cover for the 70th anniversary seats

i have ordered a set of the switches from the USA but unfortunately i cannot find the said plugs in my car as they are pictured on the sedans in the above thread. i am hoping they are jammed away in a hidden spot somewhere or slightly different for the coupe.

maybe someone else can pull their centre console off to have a look if they have the plugs?

let's hope we have unlocked a nice hidden secret here!

cheers,

Warren

That looks like a great little mod if it works! I would investigate but haven't got my car yet

[WazR32GTSt]

i know it sounds great

i am really dissapointed that i couldn't find the splugs under my console now

but i'm hoping skizo clears up the seat issue as if the seat has all the hardware already then its going to be easy to wire up a switch whether its got a connection on the loom or not..

As Chris confirmed that there do has a plug under, I am really thinking order a pair of swith:)

[WazR32GTSt]

yeah but i can't find it as yet.. he also said to me that he had seen the same loom on all V35's so i hope its somewhere..

I had a quick 5 min look under the passenger seat this afternoon and found a bunch of plugs, however all looked to be pluged in for air bags and seat belt etc.

I am very very keen to get this going.

waz ,

its there in yours - I'm sure of it. when I get the car in a few weeks time I'll pull them out.

irony being that in Jon's car they are VERY visible. (N15smo)

The link you provided is the same one I read only a few days ago. My thoughts were that the seats were a bit of an unknown as in the example used were swapped seats.

Did I miss something?

[WazR32GTSt]

i know, its frustrating that jon's are right in front of your eyes!

even all the pics that i have seen of cars on g35driver they are all very visible, be it coupe or sedan, although its been impossible to find any exposed dash pics on g35driver..

eg this pic, although this car already has the switches as standard: http://g35ipod.com/images/install/25.jpg

i might have another look tomorrow. it seems the correct part of the loom runs down the passenger side of the console. but failing that, i might have to leave it for you in a few weeks time chris..

in th meantime, everyone else go have a lok to see if you have the plugs!

less typing, more searching!

yeah you are getting confused - there were 2 similar posts about this on g35 driver..

but the crux of this thread was that they found that the loom and heating elements are already there in the STANDARD seats as long as they were the power seats and not the manually operated seats

this is on the sedans anyway, and jons car (also sedan) has the plugs poking you in the face when you look at it

i'm hoping that on the coupe they are tucked away somewhere but to be honest it didn't look like it when i had a brief look earlier today

[n15m0]

hahaha...happy that its there...haven't even seen how it looks like...Chris..take a pic! See if you can make it work!

[Unique]

If they are there they must be tucked away. I just had a look in the centre and I also could not find the plugs.

Someone find them!

[Chris Rogers]

jon,

if yo get me the switches I'll set it up. in the mean time I'll work yours out. if they are there then you are not swapping seats are you

Hmmmm..heated seats....leather seats....heated seats...leather seats...nah I think I'll have both thanks!

[tienscissors]

Found them!!!

Chris. Any good way to test if it works without the switch?

[Chris Rogers]

own a multimeter?

[tienscissors]

own a multimeter?

No. but i have one of these...... will it do?

hey mate,

looks like a sedan?

were they just sitting there or hidden?

[Chris Rogers]

No. but i have one of these...... will it do?

NO!!

they are good for popping airbags. think there are 8 or so on these so I would only use a meter in them. if it is a LED one then that is a different story. still prefer a meter.

jon,

I'm bored so I'm tearing yours to bits.

[tienscissors]

Yes its a sedan, and yes they were hidden underneath the black air-con vent that goes to the rear. Had to rip off some tape and pull the wires out, I could feel the plugs though so I knew they were there.

Fingers crossed that this will work. I was so disappointed that my car didn't come with heated seats.
