audio installers can install our products, we will provide technical
support if they require assistance.
Q6.
My stock oem seat heater element died, can you help me?
A6. We have a great solution for you, we sell the 12
volt seat heater replacement element for situations like this, all
you need to do is remove the old seat heater element and replace it
with our seat heater element. A significantly lower cost to repair this
problem than your local dealership. We understand how difficult it is
to find a single heater element, as we are the first to sell them in
this market. The elements work the same way as a stove top element,
you add positive and negative to produce heat.
Q7.
I would like to install your seat heaters on my vehicle, but I
plan to purchase the OEM seat heater switches, can I use the OEM switches
with your kits?
A7. The answer to this question really depends on your electrical knowledge,
of course it is possible if you are electrically inclined. We have installed
many seat heaters on vehicles using the manufacturers OEM seat heater switches.
Q8.
Does your seat heater have off/low/high option?
A8. Yes, our seat heaters all have off/low/high options, just like the
OEM ones found in your friends luxury vehicle. The seat heaters have
a built in thermostat that will automatically lower the temperature
if it has reached the maximum.
Q9.
Does your seat heaters have automatically shutoff if installed directly to the battery?
A9. Of course not, the seat heater can considerably drain your battery
if left on. Unfortunately even factory seat heaters that come in today's
vehicles do not have this function. You may install our seat heaters
behind the accessory (like the factory vehicles), meaning the seat heaters
can only be turned on if the ignition key is on.
Q10.
I found a website that sells the same product for less, can you match
it?
A10. Because we at HeatedSeatKits.com are the national distributors
for seat heaters, if you find a price lower than ours for the same product,
we will gladly
match that price and discount the item to 15% off the competitors
price.
Q11.
Why are your prices so low?
A11. Because we buy in large quantities passing the savings down to
you. We are distributors to over 3,500 suppliers in North America.
Q12.
Can I become a installer or supplier for your products?
A12. Yes, for more information please contact our Sales Department for access
to the reseller page.
Q13.
Does your seat heaters work on cloth seats?
A13. Yes, our seat heaters will work well under cloth, vinyl, or leather
seat covers, they are paper thin, so you won't even notice that they
are installed!
Q14.
What are hog rings?
A14. Hog rings are simply round clips that hold your seat covers down
to the chair frame. They can be easily removed with regular household pliers,
and it is necessary to remove all hog rings to make the job alot more easier.
Q15.
How many kits do I buy? I would like to have seat heaters for the driver
and passenger front row seats.
A15. You would require to purchase two kits
(dual unit) as each kit is designed for only one seating
area.
Q16.
Will your seat heaters fit my vehicle?
A16. Our universal seat heaters are very customizable as we have not
come across a vehicle that would not fit. We have installed seat heaters
on anything from a motorcycle to a ferrari.
Q17. Does your seat heater switch have led light?
A17. Due to overwelming requests from our customers, HeatedSeatKits.com has developed the Innovative Seat Heaters with dual temperature lighted switch. Low = green light and High = red light. For more information, please click HERE. Our Innovative Seat Heaters also includes an all new wiring harness with better adhesive tapes.
Q18.
If I purchase a dual unit today, are they wired together?
A18. A dual unit actually contains two single seat heater kits, the
reason why, is because each individual heater kit must be operated by
a individual switch. It would be silly to turn on the seat heaters for
both driver and passenger seats when only one seat is occupied. Troubleshooting
is also alot easier because you can exchange parts to locate the source
of the problem.
Q19.
Can I install the seat heater switches on the door panels?
A19. Yes, we have installed many seat heater switches on vehicle doors
panels, the most common place to install the seat heater switches are
the front dash below the CD Radio, vehicle seat panels, or near the gear box cover.

heaters in the rear.

my purchase?

on our website at (http://www.heatedseatkits.com/installation.html).
It is available in both html
and adobe
.pdf format for your convenience.
Q22. When I bought
my vehicle, seat heaters was not an option, can I use your kits on my
car?
A22. Yes, our universal seat heaters can be installed on any vehicle
regardless of make. There are a list of cars with glued seat covers
which makes the installation alot more difficult. The list of vehicles
is listed on our website under the "products" page.

less. Why should I buy from you?

carry. We are the real deal, you will be getting the lowest price for

Q35:
What is carbon fiber and the benefits?
Carbon Fiber is the latest standard of choice for OEM Seat Heaters used
by many new car manufacturers. The benefit of carbon fiber that it is
thread like and requires very little voltage to produce a lot of heat.
No one uses copper based elements anymore (used ten years ago), they
are outdated and have high chance of breaking down, burn your seat covers,
and catch on fire. Our carbon fiber elements can be cut and holes can
be made in the middle to allow you to keep the shape of your channels.
This is something our competitors don't have, which makes a good reason
why you should try out our product.
