Heated Seat Install Question

bonbx5man · #1 01-13-2009, 08:42 PM

I live in Eastern Pennsylvania and want to get heated seats installed on my front 2 seats in my 2005 X5 4.4i. Does anyone know a top notch upholstery shop or a BMW dealer that can install them? I called my local dealer and they said they won't install them. I want to make sure they are installed correctly and that they look factory. Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.

Do you have any speed shops near you? Like they work on cutom sports cars and trucks. Those guys generally know who the best upholsterers are. And classic and hot rod car clubs.

I'll do a google search and get back to you.

my brother had a convertable top done at this shop in Norristown, pa. I remember seeing them working on seats and was impressed with their custom work. http://www.vincesautocraft.com/

Evidently it does exist (see below), but I have no idea how complex it would be to do (especially without any instructions, as BMW seems to indicate). (I know BMW sold a retrofit kit for the E46 3 series a while back and those instructions were pretty complex...something I would NEVER intrust to a non-BMW dealer)
