Anything more?

I’m adding heated rear seats the the X because they didn’t come factory, was curious if there was anything else that could be added

Where did you find the donor seats with the heating element in it? Or did you reupholster the seats with it in?

Went to my local Pic-n-Pull. They’re having a sale on seats. $15 a seat. $19 for the rear set up.

Found a link on here showing where the wires are tucked under the front driver seat. All factory plug and play. I hope.

You will need the switches that are in the vent panel at the rear of the console.

Has anyone ever seen heated rear seats in hell beige? All the ones I ever see for sale are black or gray.

One feature my X doesn't have. I would retrofit in a second if I could actually find a set of hell beige heated rear seats. I have looked off and on for a couple of years but always find black and gray colors.

My 2021 new years resolution even though nobody ever sits back there.

I have them in nappa leather beige. Not sure how that compares to hell beige.

What does hell beige look like? Is it more beige or less beige, then beige? Beige seats show fairly often here in Washington. I could look when I go to the junkyards and let you know.
