Heated seats are dead easy. I have done the conversion many times.
The elements are removable from the seat, so you can get a good set of seats, or a real ratty pair with known good elements to install into another seat. Easiest way to do the conversion is to rip the wiring harness out from under the floor (take the switch as around here they are very hard to come-by in working condition - and I found the Audi is pinned differently).
All you need is to drop the wiring under your carpet and connect the ground and 12V lines from the harness. I usually use a direct link to the alt. with inline fuse and a relay to activate the power from some +ve while running line. I usually grab all the stuff you need from a wrecked 16V, there were a couple 8V models (karman ed. I think) that came with heated seats.

Subject: Question: heated seats
Hey - I am full of the questions, aren't I?
Anyhow, looking through the Bentley and wondering what all is involved w/
the heated seats? I assume the actual seat is specific? I am looking for
these on any type of model. Is the heating element something that can be
installed into a seat?
