I ordered a single heated seat kit for my wife for Christmas and have been waiting for it for 2 weeks. When I call them they have no tracking # and gave me some lame excuse that sometimes the carrier forgets to give them a tracking #. Whatever! I’m going to try and get my money back since I never got the product and if they don’t do that you can be sure that they’ll be hearing from my bank and Visa.

After talking to my car sales person whom I leased from, I realized taht this ropening up the car seat will get me into deep trouble when its the time to return it to the dealer.

So I found this heated seat covers from Brookstone.com. It’s actually a better solution than the built in version not to metnioned that its much cheaper too. Its made by a company named +VENTURE (the website from the box says http://www.adventureactiongear.com ) It’s less than $160 for a pair of heated seat covers that I just plug into the cigarate lighter plug. Unlike the cheap heated cusion I tried before (bought at Target and returned them since.) It actually heates up quite nicely.

I actually purchased a set of seat heaters from heatedseatkits.com and they have been working great for two years. I installed them into my 2002 Honda Civic, it sounds like a competitor trying to give them a bad name.

Wish I would have found these posts earlier! I too am having problems with my heated seat kits from heatedseatkits.com (hsk) I changed out the entire harness twice and the kit still continued to heat without shutting off. I changed the wires around for the temp sensor in the lower seat heater and now it works intermittently. I also added a seperate switch to shut off the power to them just in case. What a pain in the ass. Dont want to send them back because of crappy service and heated discussions I had with them. They claimed they sold thousands of these without any problems. Probably end up getting screwed worse seeing I had to trim them to make them fit..
Beware!!!!!!

Sadly ours died a few weeks ago. I guess that’s what you get for buying cheap.

This is really weird.

I just bought some seat heaters from the same heated seat kit company and had almost the same problem. except my driver’s side kept heating up and wouldn’t shut off.

I phoned their support line for some help. Some guy kept arguing with me that I must have mis-installed them. I explained that I went to one of their so-called recommended installers. The guys at Ace Interiors had not idea what i was talking about and had never installed heaters before.

I explained that I followed their instructions very carefully when I installed them. They worked well for a few days but that was it.

I finally got my money back and ordered from another company.
I live in the Pacific Northwest and got my seat heaters installed in Seattle by a reputable shop. The seat heaters work just perfectly.

I don’t know remember who the manufacturer is but I think that the seat heater pads had Pacific something stamped on them.

Anyways, I’m now a happy commuter and thank the internet for blogs like this.

This heatedseatkits company is a big fraud.
I ordered four sets of heaters for my suv and my daughter’s car and only one side worked for one set and the other just didn’t heat at all. So, i called their customer service line and got someone who was rude and could hardly understand. They sent me replacement parts but there were still heating problems.

Long story short – I was so frustrated i phoned Subaru of America and Ford’s head office. When i asked about this heatedseatkit company they had no idea who i was talking about. I mentiond Robert Wolfgang’s name and they still insisted that they never had procured heaters from them. A company called W.E.T. was their supplier and had been for years.

Warning be careful of companies claiming they do business with the large major companies and do your homework. This company is obviously full of hot air – if anything.

Btw – after returning their product and stuggling to get a refund, I finally got my heaters supplied and installed from a local company here in St. Louis and they are great. This HSK company is one to be weary of.

I bought seat heaters or heated seats from http://www.heatedseatkits.com and installed them myself. They are a very reputable company with very good customer service, I highly recommend you check them out. The seat heaters feel as if they are OEM, my friends and family couldn’t tel! Highly recommended!

At Christmas time they were everywhere. Check out Walmart or Target as they probably still have them. Or Amazon.
