Someone sent me a PM about this post and taking a heating element from a heated seat and transferring it to a non-heated seat. Their account isn't accepting PM's, so here is the answer - I wouldn't recommend it. The stitching is integral to the seat base leather. Better off to find a seat with the elements that matches your colour. I tried to pull one apart completely and it was not an easy task. I took it to an upholster guy and he laughed at me for even asking
