I had my seats retro fitted with heaters today at this place. Takes a day and £399. Switch mounted on the side of the seat base and has low and high setting. Takes about a minute to warm up and soon need putting on the low setting. http://motor-fit.co.uk/heated-seat-conversion/
I asked them to fit them in the batwing panel, but he rang to say when they removed it there was loads of stuff behind. The switch lights up red in the high position and green in the low position and is quite bright. So I think it's probably best where it is in the seat.
I sent him this pic which has the same switches as mine.
It's just difficult to irritate your passenger by sneakily turning on their heated seat when they are not looking..
Great addition for a soft top car, barely used the heated seats on my daily 5 series, would use them if i Had them on my vert for top down when it's cold
I love heated seats...oh and a sunroof.. I love a car with a sunroof too,despite people looking for early cars without one..could never understand that one ...
I like A sunroof too, I think the search for one without is for the perception you are having an unessisary heavier item in this sports car but I can't imagine it adds any significant weight: I think you need a sunroof in a couple unless it's a serious track car that never sees the road
I'm wondering how the customer would have had to dress if his heated seats and steering wheel had stuck on? Padded laderhosen to go with the gloves??
Do you have any pics of the Install? I'd be interested in getting this. How did they get the power connected and is there a fuse that one can pull in case it gets stuck like Demort's example ?

I did mine with the same kit by looking at your switches and I mounted them in the seat side panel the same too, I just havent got around to wiring them up yet, even though they've been fitted a couple of years.
