Winter is almost here and I like to go topless ... who has installed an aftermarket heated seat for their stang? I know there are a few different options.... which did you use and what do you recommend?

Can't help w/ aftermarket question but I can confirm that you will love the heat on the vert - best option I have.

I know... I know that I definitely want to install a set, I'm just researching which set is best. So far only one recommendation. Shirley there are more options out there that s197 vert owners have tried? (and don't call me Shirley)

So far, just positive feedback on the heatedseatkits.com set. I wish there were more people out there that would chime in on their aftermarket heated seats!!!

they do make cooled seats. i know the new avalons have heated and cooled seats. it has a small knob, similar to the heat/cool knob on the dash for each seat. and they work great.

Hey Larmo - let me know what you come up with on this.  I'm in the same boat as you..  Every option EXCEPT heated seats..

I have heated seats in my Subaru.  You can warm your but, your back or both.  And they heat faster than the vents!  Wish the steering wheel was heated too.

I looked at heated seat add-ons a few years ago for my Ford Expedition, but never decided to buy.  I looked again for Mustangs this year and there seems to be fewer choices. It would be a nice addition to my convertible.

All the vendor documention online says the install is relatively easy and you don't have to remove the seats.  However, I think I'll have to see that to believe it.

Make sure you get a control unit with two heat levels and an auto off timer.  Most have these features, but they are left out of some cheaper units.

My wife`s Mercury Milan has the heated seats & they are great. I wonder if she would notice if I switched them with the `Stang??

My GT came with 3 things that I'll never use:

Heated seats
Air conditioning
Block heater

It's a summer car that will spend every winter parked in the garage but heated seats are nice, I have them in a Volvo and when it gets cold, they're on all the time.

i found this http://www.sportsimportsltd.com/seatheatac.html

i also was thinking about heated seats but you know what would be cool is to have the cooling seats too. for the summer. i couldn't find anything on the cooling seats. i thought of maybe taking some seats out of the lincoln ls with heated and cool seats and put them in the stang???

Instead of buying heated seats, I fixed the problem by buying this:
