Heated seat retrofit for under £60

[LeylandVCDS]

Nice little addition made to the Toledo today.
I bought a two seat universal heated seat kit from ebay a couple of weeks ago, and got round to fitting it today. Being a universal kit, it doesn't tap into the canbus at all, power is taken direct from the battery through a relay which is ignition switched from the fusebox. The power lead splits to each seat, each through its own 7.5 amp fuse. It's a system I've used on both my current Leon and two of my old Octavias, and works well.
I've mounted the switches out of the way on the sides of the seats by the height adjuster handle, so there's no damage at all to the console or dashboard
It's a very cost effective way of adding heated seats, and cost me less than £60 to do both front seats ?

I realise this thread is quite old now, but any chance you would mind detailing how you routed the wires for this kit? Been wanting to add one to my Toledo but I don't want to go into it completely blind

Literally run the cables under the carpet alongside the sills, then up the lower A-pillar to behind the dashboard, and straight to the fusebox. Use an ignition switched fuse, preferably that space reserved for the heated heat fuse when they are factory fitted, and then run the cables under the carpet as described to underneath the seats, each seat having its own separate 7.5 Amp fuse, and bring the cable up through the carpet follwoing the existing wiring for the seat airbags. Very easy to sort out on the Toledo, and the switch position I used on the seat itself means that no holes are drilled in the console or dashboard
