Heated seats?
Wondering if there was an way to get heated seats in a 97 hatch. Cause it has cutouts by the emergency brake where the controls could go.

Re: Heated seats?
Would I still have to use an "OEM" Like I have Si seats would I be able to use those or could I use a "racing" seat like a recaro or whatnot.

Re: Heated seats?
Yes there is. I installed heated seats into my 5th Gen Civic using a Honda switch. I wired it according to the EDM wiring diagrams for Civics with heated seats. Yours will be quite similar.
From my post here: https://honda-tech.com/forums/showpo...&postcount=159
Status: I've installed aftermarket heated seat units, wired using the stock OEM wiring diagrams. I didn't use the OEM switches because they would occupy both slots in the armrest for both the driver and passenger switches, and that seemed lame. Instead, I used a 2-in-1 switch from another Honda vehicle.

There is no point for someone living in Alabama, as it states in your "Location".
There is a point for someone living in more northern latitudes. In the middle of winter in the Yukon it is often -30C to -40C (= about -40F). That's when I appreciate my heated seats. Just sayin'.

Eh seems like you could just crank the car and let the heat run. No point in your butt crack getting sweaty while the rest of you freezes. Now a massage seat would be nice lol

I drove my grandmas lincoln zephyr around for a week in the winter and having heated seats was really nice.

I am doing this in my Prelude, although I will be using aftermarket heating pads.

Re: Heated seats?
Lol you're so ignorant. When it's -50, the interior of the car doesn't heat up till you let it idle for about 20 minutes.
