    Can it be done - heated seats

    Is it possible to fit heated seating elements to a comfort line polo?

    I mean buy the heater element pads, wiring harness and two dash switches .... Or is it more complex / fire hazard ??

    Cold winters in Canberra.....

    I have had heated seats in various cars in the past, they nearly always fail to different extents (mainly heating elements screwing up) within 5 years. Too complex.......spend your money on a good blanket

      Agreed, nice when they work.

      I'm coming from a 2005 MINI Cooper S Cabrio to Polo GTI and the heated seat question was a non issue. The MINI seats never failed me but went from really warm to lukewarm heat and there was no knowing what it would do.

      When I saw there was a leather option for the Polo and that it had heated seats, my attraction was to the leather until I saw it. How can they charge that much for mostly velour that looks like crap the moment you've sat on it.

      I substituted my leather/heted seat option for a Panoramic sunroof.

      The sunroof kind of strikes a balance b/w going from a soft to a hard top, but also means my wife will travel with me more often as she hates convertibles. Will let you know if this is a good or bad thing after I get the Polo lol

        My friend fitted one of the heated seat kits to his MX5. Still Work perfectly after a few years. Has a two position rocker switch which has a factory look to it. I will ask him where he got them..

        then again there seem to be many sources online Seat Heater for Cars and Trucks from HeatedSeatKits.com

          Sunroof and wife sounds good, but still recon a warm butt is the way to go.
          Agree the fake leather option for polo is sad. How much was the sunroof option?

            From memory sunroof was $1700 and "leather" was $1900 - no brainer at the time and still now

            "but still recon a warm butt is the way to go" - I could make comment but reckon the Mod would get involved LOL
