got a kind of a stupid question.. i popped off the caps where switches are supposed to be around my steering wheel and the shifter and i've noticed almost every one of them had a harness behind them.. is it possible to install the heated switches and other switches in there?

what kind of a car do you have?
i know 850 and x70 have most of the harness installed
depending on what accessory you want; it might need additional work other then switches to make it work

for the heated seats youd need to put the heated pads in the seats and wire those up i believe :blink: so its more then just the switch...

(i might be able to get all the peices at my JY if you want to try)

Confirmed. Sadly, you can't just hook up a switch and have heated seats. However, depending on your car the wiring may be factory installed, making your life a lot easier if you really do want to install these options yourself.
