Ilanpro when you going to order yours?

[ilanpro]

good find ilan!!! i am going to order that. the price is better than the best aftermarket price i could find, and it's OEM... where do the OEM switches go? don't the korean/canadian market elantras have a different center console with places for the switches?

oh, and i doubt the sensors will be a problem. the heating pad will probably not interfere with the pressure put on the sensors.

[hyunelan2]

I think the switch goes on the panel by the interior dimmer switch (on the 01-03). I could be wrong though.

[southpawboston]

hyunelan, i can see the driver's seat switch going next to the dimmer (quite nicely in fact, since there are those bazillion blank switch plates there, lol), but the passenger's as well??? that wouldn't seem logical to have to ask the driver to turn the seat heater off!

[Leviathant]

Very nice! I'm going to wait for you guys to install it first before I try it though. It'd be nice to fill in some of those blank switches over there. I Just emailed and asked about the hands-free kit/coinholder thingie that goes around the lip of the cubbyhole under the ashtray. *crosses fingers* All this stuff, just in time for christmas :)

[southpawboston]

leviathant, isn't that where the canadian OEM seat heater switches also go??? also hooking up an OEM hands-free is not that easy. it has to integrate into the audio system, which our OEM stereo can't do.

[ilanpro]

the switches will go here

[southpawboston]

ilan, that picture illustrates exactly my point. the US elantras don't have that console section to hold the switches, unless that console part comes with the OEM kit.

[ilanpro]

or we can get them ;)
I already contacted them about it :D

[Leviathant]

Frankly, I don't care about hooking up the hands-free, I just want the lip. Sometimes I stack my CDs too high, and on turns they slip out of that spot and land right under my feet. Not cool.

The dimmer switch blanks are mostly filled by handsfree stuff.

Here is a closeup of the handsfree plugin and the button next to it:

In Russia, rather than a handsfree thing, they have coin holders, and there's a button in the middle of the coin holders. I'll attach that image, because the remote link (http://www.autocentre.ua/ac/03/46/images/222/222-5.jpg) is really slow. I sent an email asking about the coin-holder/whatever lip, if I hear anything back I'll post about it.

[hyunelan2]

Yea, if they get that stuff, I'm down. My birthday is next week, so is Christmas. I know I'll have money from somewhere.

[southpawboston]

ilan, how much will that console part cost??? i'm DOWN!!!

[2BIT]

Pretty cool. Wonder what they would cost to get installed?

[southpawboston]

the cost should basically be the cost of removing the front seat upholstery and reinstalling it, then just running some wiring. i would bring the car to an auto upholstery shop to make sure the seat fabric gets taken off and put back on correctly. i would imagine it's easy to mess it up.

[Leviathant]

There have been some discussions about removing the cloth that came up earlier this week I thought. The most annoying thing was the set of rings on the back of the seat or something. I'm prepared for a DIY, as long as everything fits correctly.

[Onelove5683]

thank you thank you.... i emailed them about this and about certain prices...

[SuperGLS]

I saw these yesterday when I was looking at the chrome tweeter things. The only thing I don't like is the way the element itself is set up. It doesn't look like they are of the same quality as those ones I posted about a while back. Definately interesting though, can't wait to see someone else get on it and make a DIY.

[GTsmokeya]

Did anyone find anything else out I spoke with my service department and they said it would be a learning experment for them but they will be glad to install it. I also e-mailed the website before i saw this post asking if the US version elantra's have the right wireing harness available in the car so it would be like plug and play.

GTsmokeya

[southpawboston]

i don't think the wiring harness is there in the car. it will have to be wired. definitely not plug-n-play. but it's an easy two-wire hookup. just needs 12V (and lots of it, haha).

[GTsmokeya]

Dream4KU or whatever got back to me today... also merry christmas to all.. this is what he sent me.


Happy Christmas~

Thanks for visitng our site..
We supply 2 Heated bottom seat pads and 2 heated back seat pads for Driver and Passenger and 2 Heated switches.

Actually, US model has basic installed wires on its model but it may not be installed wire from Heated Switches to Power or from Heated switches to each Pad wires.

So you might need DIY...

Even you will need an OEM console for Switches..Your center console tray is not fitted to install heated switches on your car..

We can give you all parts as US$155 + 3% paypal fee with oem console...


I will order these parts come monday and hopefully have it by friday then I arranged for my service department to install I will right back with results wish me luck.

GTsmokeya

[southpawboston]

that's still a great deal, considering it includes the OEM switches and console tray. i am going to have to order this set soon. i need to check with an upholstery shop first to see how much they will charge to install them (i'll do the wiring part/switches myself). i don't trust the dealership to remove and reinstall the leather. i'd rather leave that to an upholstery shop.

[2BIT]

I think this is an awsome mod, but here in Vegas, there just isnt much need for heat lol

[southpawboston]

haha, i suppose you're right 2bits. here in the northeast, getting into a frigid car is hellish. i can't wait to do this mod, since i already have the remote start. i can leave the seat heaters on so that when i remote start they'll get the seats all toasty by the time i get in to the car...

[cclngthr]

I wouldn't mind a hot *** seat in my car. With my back having stainless steel rods holding my spine straight, it gets mighty cold in winter weather; and that hurts like hell.

[exsailor]

You will not be able to have the seats hot for when you get into the car. Mine do not come on unless the switch is on AND there is someone sitting in the seat. They must have a pressure switch as well.
That is how the OEM ones work anyway. :D

[caseinajar]

what if you left something on your seat. say a box of telephone books or something
just an idea

[only1db]

wow....this is kinda cool...how come i didnt see this before!! ....anybody do it yet?

[only1db]

yeah leather + cold = a very cold ***!! :D

that should be pretty easy to circumvent with a DIY installation...

[KeWLKaT]

ok southpaw, once you get that set, I'm waiting for a DIY from your side :D

[GTsmokeya]

Well I e-mailed him back that I would like to purchase the set I will wait for his reply and hopefully I will get everything within a week so that I may have *** warmers. :)

GTsmokeya

[exsailor]

I was talking through my **s when I said that there had to be someone in the seats for the heat to come on. :hand: That is wrong. It takes about 10-15 mins to notice any heat coming from the seat.
Using a remote starter, the seats should be warm when you get in. :D

SPB, you will get a chance to re-install your iPod base with the new console. Think you might mount it lower so you just have a slot in the bottom of the console with the base mounted flush underneath? Someone here did that and it looks really clean. You could even turn the cutout into a 'cap' of sorts so you can cover it when the iPod isn't in there!

[southpawboston]

yep roy, i saw that guy's ipod dock installation and liked it!!! so yes, if i get the new console insert with the heater pads and switches, i will definitely so something along those lines.

the only drawback (and this is apple's fault) is that the dock housing is white. you can try painting it black, but the way it's designed is to hold the ipod in by friction. there's no latch that clicks it into place. so after awhile, any paint job is going to get scuffed and the white is going to show. so i'll probably just leave it white.

i like your idea of a cover. [as the gears mesh in SPB's head] in fact, the rubber layer in that console insert is removable, it's only held down in four places by little nubs that pop through the plastic below it. you could leave the rubber piece uncut, and just roll it back to slip the ipod in. then with the ipod out, the rubber just lays flat and there's no cutout... hmm... looks like i'm going to have to get those seat heaters sooner rather than later...

alas...new baby, new job = no mods for SPB until next vacation... :(

[cclngthr]

How much are the heating units?

[southpawboston]

if i remember correctly, it was $165 for the OEM pads, switches, and console insert (which is molded to accomodate the switches). grear price.

[cclngthr]

Where can I get one or 2?
