Mine had the brown plug coming out of the carpet under each seat, but I had to fit the elements to the seats.

To be sure if you have the wiring in the car you need to remove the switch panel in the centre consul and see if you have the two connectors for

Yeah there is two plugs behind the switch panel but nothing on the seats so i would need the elements it might be worth trying a breakers maybe

You're in !!!!.

All you need is the 4 seat heater pads, 2 switches and a new consol switch fascia.

Cheers..

If the wire from that brown plug goes to your seat then you do

so if the wire it attaches to comes from the front of the seat or rear of the seat? that means it already has the pads installed?

There are only two wires in the plug that comes out of the seat,why not just try power and earth to them and see if owt happens.

Theres actually 4 in the female brown plug. If you cross terminals 1 and 4 in the switch connector youll find 12 volts at the brown plug.

All you need is the four heater pads. They are joined in series so you only have one male brown plug coming out of the rear bottom of the seat.

Cheers.
