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.

 

The easiest way would be to get parts from an Acura 1.6 EL...

 

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.

 

You would have to use your OEM seats in order to have the heated seats.

 

Just get one of these and you can have heated seats in anything

 

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.

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.

What's the point?

 

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

 

Correct, mine not so extreme but living in north east ohio it gets really cold, negative temperatures.

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

 

That is awesome bro. The best solution if you don't want to occupy 2 slots.
I am doing this in my Prelude, although I will be using aftermarket heating pads.

 

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.

 

^ werd is bond on that one!
