Seat heater pads (carbon type)

[Dino D]

I have some questions on the aftermarket carbon fibre seat heating pads that I think @Sean d and @Antm72 fitted.

Do they work with standard wiring loom of the car and work with the OEM switches?

Something like with just 2 settings would work?

Good to know, thanks Ant.
How do they compare with the standard ones heat wise?

Never sat in the passenger seat to tell you the difference . They heat very well they have their own thermal cut out built in I imagine due to design and the way they heat they have to be superior .The Oem is just a single strand of wire where as these have multiple links by design giving a full pad of heat...I have no complaints

They are great pal, believe me you won't regret it. Awesome when winter cruising

You need to get a chauffeur..I'd help you out if your weren't so faraway!

Makes sense. Whilst the OEM ones get hot quick (super hot on setting 2) the ones in the Galaxy are epic with 5 settings - I only go up to 2 but it's velour seats so probably more heat comes through.
I'd like more distribution of heat especially higher up the back rest which these pads look like they'll do.

Agree. I've got OEM ones but will be getting cloth bucket seats soon so will retrofit heaters, can't be without heaters now, even on a cool summers night just makes it nice.
