Default Re: Question about heated seats

In my experience there has always been someone offering the necessary mods, it becomes a question of cost/benefit. It IS possible that the unique assembly of the Camry will make it so difficult the 3rd party seats will cost so much as to make you scream.

That said, I can't imagine that at some point down the road factory seats should not come available as spare parts, then it is just a matter of installing controls and wiring/power if someone is willing to do it.

At any rate, many thanks for the "gear for heated seats will be out there, just not at present" comment... I hope this is the case, and not just an issue with the TCH's overall seat assembly which makes it impractical to do such a post-install -- either now or in the future!
