Undoubtedly, we all love comfort and coziness, the presence of which can hardly be said, for example, in a car with a leather interior frozen in winter. And the question here is not in the upholstery of the cabin, but in the inevitable discomfort in frosty times. Do-it-yourself seat heating is the best way to avoid this discomfort.

Important!

Installing car seat heating is a rather responsible matter, especially for those who are on “you” with an electrician, therefore, in order to avoid force majeure situations, be sure to consult an electrician or an experienced installer of home-made seat heating systems before getting down to business.

Buy or make?

In the modern market of auto parts and accessories, you can easily find heating removable covers (capes) and even entire heated seats. Their low cost and ease of connection are undoubted advantages, therefore, if finances allow, as they say, do not show off and buy a ready-made version.

Of course, if there is no money for it, you will have to do everything yourself.

What you need.

• Nichrome wire 0.5 mm in diameter and 10 meters long.
• Relay.
• Button.
• Wires and connectors for mounting the heater in the car.

Do-it-yourself seat heating: instructions.

1. To begin with, you need to make 4 spirals from the wire: it is most convenient to do this with a wooden beam and two nails driven into it (without hats, they should be bitten off) at a distance of 4 cm from each other - just wind the wire around the nails in a figure eight, forming spirals.

1. Find a piece of fabric, preferably denim, that is the right size for your car seat heating (approximately 30cm x 30cm). Using a sewing machine, stitch 4 rows of spirals parallel to each other to the selected fabric flap. Connect the spirals with wires. The power of such a heater reaches 40W. Connect the resulting structure through a relay to a power source (cigarette lighter).

Unfortunately, this type of seat heating, regardless of whether it is homemade or bought in a special store, has a number of fairly significant drawbacks.

• There is a risk of getting burned, because no one gives a 100% guarantee that any of the wires will not fail, igniting right under its warmed owner.
• Such covers are often characterized by uneven or spasmodic heating.
• This heating element is connected to the power source through the cigarette lighter socket. However, at present, many drivers use this connector to connect a navigator, a video recorder, etc., and a splitter in this situation cannot be a way out of the situation, because seat heating requires a considerable current consumption, which is disproportionate to several connections to the network at once, therefore the driver or his passengers will have to choose what is more important at the moment: warm up or drive according to the instructions of the navigator, for example.
• One more thing: the considered heating option is very inconvenient to use due to the presence of wires in its design that interfere with the driver, and passengers from the rear seats do not have the opportunity to warm up in this way at all, unless, of course, you extend the wires leading to the relay.

Based on the described disadvantages of the above heating method, we will consider the built-in version of the heating elements. Such a solution to the issue can rightfully frighten many car owners, because, in addition to assembling the structure itself, the driver faces a difficult task in installing it. However, this option will solve many of your problems in one fell swoop (the wires are hidden, the interior has not been changed, the cigarette lighter socket will remain free, because all elements are connected directly to the car's wiring), providing an opportunity to warm up in winter frosts not only to the driver and passenger sitting in the front seat, but also to the “guests” from the back sofa.

How to make built-in heated seats with your own hands?

First you need to purchase the so-called backbone of the entire structure - heating elements. Why buy rather than make your own? The issue is your safety. Since the elements are built-in, and any inaccuracy in independent work cannot be identified and eliminated in a very short safe period of time, it is better and more reliable to use ready-made elements. Their choice is quite large. We will focus on the domestic manufacturer Emelya (Russia), whose product quality is not inferior to reliable Germans, and the price is much more pleasant.

Included with this set you will find an electronic temperature controller and protection against overheating.

The heating element in "Emel" is represented by an armored cable or carbon fiber.

Additionally, you will need:

• Screwdriver Set,
• wrenches for disassembling the chair,
• plastic clamps,
• scissors,
• knife with interchangeable blades
• insulating tape,
• multimeter,
• heat shrink tubing,
• pliers, marker,
• soldering iron,
• double-sided tape (glue 88 is possible),
• stranded wire 2.5 mm sq. section - for wiring.

To begin with, decide on all the control buttons and their fastening, so that if necessary (suddenly they will not be in their regular place) to purchase suitable for this car.

Now we can get down to business.

1. Disassemble the seats: start with the headrest, then remove the plastic elements, then the seat upholstery, making room for the heating mats. To remove the "back" trim, remove the plastic bushings for the head restraints.

1. Attach the sheet with heating elements to the seat foam, marking its dimensional contours with a marker. Following the marked lines, stick strips of double-sided tape or use glue 88. If there is a temperature sensor, also install it on the foam rubber.
2. Glue (attach) the heating mats to the space provided on the seats. Here you should pay special attention to the location of the wires. Do not forget that on the driver's seat they should be on the right, and on the passenger seat - on the left. Pull out the power wires.

1. Install the "native" skin on the supplemented foam base, using plastic clamps in the places necessary for this. Also, return all plastic elements, head restraints to their original position and install the seats in their original places. In this case, the wiring should be laid in the places where the power supply and controls are connected.

A very important point: the wires leading to the heating mats from the regulators must not be laid tight, leave such a margin that will allow you to calmly move the chair back if necessary.

1. It's time to connect the heating elements. In this matter, the instructions that come with the installation kit should help you. If she is not an assistant for you in connecting the unit to the on-board network, it would be better and more correct to turn to professionals for help. If you are confident in the correctness of your actions and are ready to try to deal with this stage on your own, we recommend that you pay attention to certain recommendations:

• It is necessary to detect the power supply (12V), ignition and backlight circuits with a multimeter.
• Connect the positive wire of the thermal relay to the ignition lock connector, which is powered only after the key is turned.
• Connect the power cable to the positive terminal of the battery through the fuse.
• Bring the negative wire to the "mass", to the cigarette lighter contacts - the button backlight wires.
• All connections, of course, must be soldered and insulated. Then you can check the system.

Important point:a properly assembled system will only work when the ignition is on. Otherwise, you run the risk of not starting the car someday.

Only one question remained unanswered: what about the rear sofa of the cabin and its heating? For those who constantly travel with their family in a car, this is a very important point. But there is nothing complicated here either: the installation and connection of the rear seat heating system is similar to that described above. The only difference is that for one sofa you will need two sets of heating elements.

Now manufacturers offer drivers many options for completing a car. You can choose in advance which useful options your car will have. The most popular options among domestic motorists are such options as:

• air conditioner,
• electric windows.

Also, quite often, cars are understaffed with acoustic systems. But not everything is as simple as it might seem at first glance. The fact is that most music lovers will prefer to choose a system to their liking, and not a budget factory option. Although it is worth recognizing that more than good speaker systems are installed on premium cars.

But today we will not talk about them, but about such an option as heated seats. Every car owner, at least once sitting in a heated car, will want such an accessory in his car.

Attention! It usually takes no more than thirty seconds for a good heating system to make you feel like you are somewhere in the tropics.

Seat heating is of particular relevance for people suffering from various diseases of the back and cervical region. Sometimes it is enough to sit in a heated seat for 20 minutes, as all pains pass.

Unfortunately, not all cars still have the option of installing heated seats upon purchase. Typically, this restriction applies to cars of the middle and budget class. Moreover, even if available in the price list, this option is very expensive.

It is not surprising that every year more and more drivers decide to install heated seats with their own hands. This process is quite costly, but not particularly difficult. It is within the power of every motorist to implement it.

Heating types

It should be noted right away that in order to have warm seats in winter, it is not necessary to open the casing and independently connect the heating circuit. There are alternatives to avoid this. Of course, despite the advantages, this option was not without its drawbacks.

Special capes

This type of seat heating does not require any complex installation. It is enough to throw a cape on a chair, and you will provide yourself with warmth for the whole winter. At least that's how the concept looks at first glance.

In addition to covers on the market, you can also find special heated car seat covers. They are much more comfortable, as they have a better fixation, and will not slip on sharp turns.

Attention! Capes and covers have special heating elements that provide the driver with warmth.

In addition to ease of installation, the advantages of just such seat heating, which everyone can install with their own hands, include low cost. Unfortunately, it was not possible to do without shortcomings. The most important thing is the extremely low quality of the entire structure.

If you search the Internet, you can find more than one case where the cape ignited right under the driver. Moreover, such devices are characterized by uneven heating. In some areas, the temperature rises to 40 degrees.

Another significant disadvantage of a cape or cover is the connection method. To activate such seat heating, you need to use the cigarette lighter connector. Taking into account the fact that the average driver has a navigator, smartphone, video recorder, and so on in the car, this port becomes scarce.

Attention! Even a splitter is not able to help in such a situation. The fact is that this type of seat heating consumes too much electricity and the fuse simply does not withstand.

Also, do not forget about the wires that will definitely appear in the cabin as a result of buying a cape or cover. Cables can create an emergency, because at critical moments it is very easy to get tangled in them.

built-in heating

Of course, to install built-in seat heating, you will need to spend much more time. However, if you follow the instructions, the time required for this operation can be significantly reduced.

The main advantages of built-in seat heating include:

1. Possibility of simultaneous heating of both front and rear seats.
2. All wires are hidden under the interior trim, so you won’t get tangled in them.
3. The system is connected to the vehicle wiring. Because of this, the cigarette lighter socket will be free. In addition, the onboard network may well cope with such a load.
4. Since the heating is introduced inside the seats, the original interior of the cabin is preserved.

As you can see, despite some complexity in installation, built-in seat heating has a number of significant advantages that cannot be ignored.

Choosing a kit

Before proceeding with the installation of heated seats, you need to decide on the kit that you need. The most popular now are the products of German, Russian and Chinese brands.

Naturally, seat heating kits from leading German companies are considered the best in quality. But they are also priced accordingly. Of course, such systems are installed in both the front and rear seats.

Quality kits should have at least several degrees of protection. Also, high-quality seat heating systems usually have more than one mode of operation.

It should be noted that among Russian companies there are brands that provide high-quality and relatively inexpensive products. Suffice it to recall such giants as Avtoterm and Teplodom. Seat heating systems from these companies have protection, as well as high-quality heating elements. For greater reliability, they use armored cable. They also have an overheating protection function that turns off the device when a critical temperature is reached.

Seat heaters from China traditionally have the lowest price. Unfortunately, in most cases, goods from this country cannot boast of either a reliable design or a good security system. Of course, there are exceptions, but their price is not much inferior to their German counterparts.

When choosing a seat heating system, it is better to immediately buy a high-quality kit, since devices with a low price may have such defects as:

• failure of the control button,
• wire burnout,
• short circuits
• uneven heating.

Taking into account the time that you have to spend on installation, it is better to immediately buy a high-quality kit so as not to waste your energy on repairs.

Do-it-yourself heating

With some knowledge of electrical engineering, seat heating can be done independently. Nevertheless, the reliability and safety of such a design will not be very high.

To make seat heating with your own hands, take a nichrome wire with a diameter of half a centimeter. Form four spirals. To do this, use a wooden beam with two hammered nails at a distance of 4 cm.

Important! Make a perm with an eight.

Take a thick denim and on it connect all the spirals in a parallel way. The power supply must be at least 12V. The final indicator of the calculated power will be 40 watts. Also do not forget to install the relay in the heated seats, made by yourself.

Installation

Training

Any worthwhile business starts with preparation. After you have chosen and bought a kit for yourself, you need to take care of the selection of tools and materials that suit your task. To install a car seat heater with your own hands, you will need:

• plastic clamps,
• multimeter,
• Screwdriver Set,
• wrenches of different sizes,
• scissors,
• electrical tape and double sided tape
• heat shrink tubing,
• marker,
• pliers,
• glue,
• soldering iron.

This is the standard set. Simply put, you cannot do without these tools during installation. But you should keep in mind that there are systems of varying complexity. Moreover, much depends on the basic package. Very often, cheap kits do not have the wires or fuse needed for installation. In this case, you will have to buy them yourself.

Attention! It is best to use stranded wire with a cross section of 2.5 mm2 as wiring.

Installation

Before proceeding directly to the installation, calculate in advance where you will install the control buttons. Also choose the appropriate type of attachment. After choosing a suitable place to install the manipulators, simply follow these instructions:

1. Remove the chairs and disassemble them. You need to remove the headrest and also unfasten all the plastic pieces.
2. Remove the seat upholstery. Usually it is fixed at the very bottom with metal rings. You can do without complete removal, the main thing is that you can safely install the heating elements.
3. Remove the upholstery from the back of the seats. To do this, you will need to unfasten the plastic bushings of the head restraints.
4. The heating element must be placed on the foam rubber and circle the contours with a marker. Then strips of double-sided tape are glued on them and glue is applied.
5. Elements are fixed on the back and seat.
6. Pull out the power wires.
7. Reinstall the trim.
8. Return the seat inserts and headrests.

At the very end, the seats are installed back, and the wiring is laid.

Connection

To connect seat heating, you need to use the scheme that will come with the kit. You can detect power circuits with a multimeter. In this case, the positive wire of the thermal relay is connected to the ignition switch, the negative cable goes to ground. The backlight of the button is connected to the cigarette lighter contacts.

Attention! All connections are soldered and insulated at the end.

Results

As you can see, every car owner can install seat heating. The main thing is to properly prepare for installation, collect the entire set of materials and tools, as well as purchase a high-quality heating system or make it yourself.

Car owners spend a huge amount of time behind the wheel of a car, so comfort plays an important role. During frosts, sitting on a cold chair is not the best thing to do, since the regular heating of a car is not always enough for a full warm-up, especially when you need to get into a frozen interior early in the morning. Seat heating is a great solution to this problem.

There are two types of such a heating system: external or external (covers and capes) and built-in (mounted under the seat upholstery). To figure out which seat heating is better, it is worth considering the features of these varieties in more detail.

External seat heating

This is the cheapest option, which is most often used by drivers if the car manufacturer has not taken care of heated seats for the car. Covers and capes are equipped with heating elements:

• carbon fiber wiring;
• nichrome spirals coated with PVC sheath;
• Teflon-coated wires;
• Fiber Thermetics thermal fibre.

The power of elements for heating this type is from 40 to 100 W at a current consumption in the range of 4-8 Amperes. The external heaters are powered by the cigarette lighter. Some models are equipped with touch or mechanical control panels. The method of fastening the product depends on the type of heater.

Types of external heaters

This type of system falls into two categories.

"Capes"

Heated front seats of the overhead type are considered the simplest and most affordable. Products are made of rubberized or dense fabric, on which heating elements are fixed. Such heating pads can be fixed with special Velcro or rubber bands with hooks. To install the heated cape on the seat, it is enough to fix the lower hooks to the seat springs yourself. After that, it is enough to connect the “cape” to the cigarette lighter.

However, such simple heater options have a lot of disadvantages:

• Most models lack temperature controls, which often leads to overheating.
• The product is fixed only with a few hooks or Velcro. Because of this, the cape constantly slips.
• "Capes" do not look very nice.
• The cigarette lighter is constantly busy.
• Heated rear seats are not possible.

Cases

Products of this type can be made from a variety of materials (fabric, natural or artificial leather, eco-leather). They are installed on top of the regular "seats" and connected directly to the on-board system, which is much better than heating the car seats from the cigarette lighter. At the same time, you can install products immediately on all seats, thereby not violating the interior design.

Cases, as a rule, are equipped with additional control panels that allow you to control the heating temperature, thanks to which the risk of overheating is practically eliminated.

However, if you compare heated front seat covers and covers, the first type is much easier to install yourself. The cover is so easy to pull on the seat. In addition, such systems require the installation of control buttons that crash into the car panels. It is recommended to entrust this work only to auto electricians.

In addition, the cost of covers is much higher. However, it all depends on the chosen model.

The best outdoor seat heating systems

Most often, car owners choose the following products:

Model name	heating elements	Peculiarities	Cost, rub
"Thermosoft"	Thermal fibers Fiber Thermetics	Does not deform even when bent 180 degrees. Attaches with rubber bands.	2 100
Waeco	Teflon sheathed wire	Equipped with a thermostat to prevent overheating.	1 900
"Emelya 2"	carbon fiber	Uniform heating, the ability to work in 4 modes.	from 900

There are also special covers that are used for child seats. Among them it is worth highlighting:

In addition to capes and covers, there are also stationary heating systems, which are considered more reliable and durable.

built-in heating

These elements are installed between the skin and the foam layer of the car seats. They are made from special mats using nichrome spirals, carbon fiber and thermal fiber. Based on this, there are several features of the built-in heating system:

• Products with nichrome spirals are cheaper, but such elements can not be built into every chair design. If the system intersects with reinforcement elements, then it will have to be adjusted to the desired size.
• Carbon fiber and thermal fiber mats can be installed on any chair without any restrictions. If necessary, they can be safely cut and give them any shape. However, these models are very expensive.

If we talk about the advantages of such systems compared to covers and capes, then it is worth highlighting:

• Access to car cigarette lighter. Heating is connected to a separate power supply.
• Hidden system connection. There will be no wires hanging under your feet.
• The possibility of outputting the heating system both to the rear seats of the car and to the front.
• High reliability of the system.
• The presence of a thermostat. Thanks to this, the device will not close.
• Possibility of installation of the power supply unit in any convenient place.

Among the shortcomings of such systems, only a rather high cost of products can be distinguished. However, you can find relatively cheap models.

The best systems "embedded"

To choose high-quality seat heating, you should pay attention to the following brands:

Model name	Peculiarities	Cost, rub
Waeco MSH-300	Heating is carried out by carbonaceous elements. An electronic power supply is installed, which allows the system to operate in 3 modes.	16 000
"Emelya UK2"	Wire type heaters. There are 8 working modes. Equipped with a spark protection system.	4 000
"Emelya UK"	The most budget option. 2 heating modes.	1 4000

There are no fixed systems for child seats, since such a heated seat installation will be fraught with many difficulties. However, if necessary, a heater for any type of seat can be made independently.

DIY seat heating

In order to make such a system, it is enough to purchase a heating cable. If you want to save even more, then before you do the seat heating with your own hands, you can prepare an ordinary nichrome wire with a diameter of 0.5 mm. It will act as a heater. After that, it remains to sew it on a dense fabric and attach it under the chair. The scheme of work is extremely simple. In order to make a homemade burn, you must:

• Divide 3 meters of nichrome into two equal parts (one of them will go to the “seat”, and the second will be needed for the back of the seat).
• Sew it in a zigzag onto the fabric (you can use old jeans).
• Connect the structure made to a 12 V power source.

How to check that everything is working? Very simple. To do this, you need to wait until the wiring starts to heat up. If after a few minutes the seat becomes warm, then everything is fine. If this does not happen and the wire continues to heat up, it is recommended to connect a thermostat or other device for measuring resistance.

You need to be careful not to overheat. Otherwise, a fire may occur. That is why the independent manufacture of such elements is not recommended for those who are far from electricians.

You can also make heating a little differently, using the same nichrome wire. Only in this case, it will need a little more - 10 m. From nichrome, you need to form 4 spirals at a distance of 40 mm from each other, curling the wire with "eights". For convenience, it is better to wind the spirals on nails driven into the board.

After that, the spirals are connected in parallel and attached to a dense mother (again, you can use jeans). At the next stage, it remains only to mount the relay and connect the system to a power source.

In custody

Before you install seat heating, you should check its performance. Even if we are talking about a ready-made heating system, it is worth connecting it and seeing how intensely the heating occurs before directly installing it on the car seats.

Many modern cars come standard with many useful options that should make the trip comfortable. One of these additions is heated seats. A warm chair will be especially appropriate in winter, when the temperature drops below 20 ° C. For men, prolonged contact with the cold surface of a car seat can lead to unpleasant illnesses. Therefore, with regular use of the car in winter, you can make seat heating with your own hands. It is possible to solve this problem in several ways.

Use of special capes

Today in the market of automotive accessories you can find removable devices for seat heating. They are covers or capes equipped with built-in heating elements. The main advantages of this method of heating the car seat are:

• low cost;
• ease of connection.

To install a cover or cape, you don’t have to go to a car service, even a novice car enthusiast can handle the job. But this type of seat heating also has several serious drawbacks.

1. The main problem is the quality of the products. Car owners note cases when the cape ignites right under the driver. In this case, not only clothes deteriorate, but there is also a high risk of serious burns.
2. Some covers and capes are characterized by uneven heating. Therefore, in some areas the temperature rises to 40˚С. Such heat adversely affects the reproductive function of a strong half of car owners.
3. Another problem awaits a frozen motorist during the operation of heating capes and covers. The heating elements are connected to the on-board electrical network of the machine through the cigarette lighter socket. And today, this connector is used to connect a DVR, GPS navigator, recharge a mobile device, etc. Using a splitter does not help in this situation, because the heating element has a large current consumption and the fuse simply will not withstand.
4. The use of capes hides another hidden danger. Wires appear in the interior of the car, which can interfere with the driver while driving. And due to the insufficient length of the electrical wiring, it is not possible to use removable heating covers for car seats for rear passengers.

Benefits of built-in heating

Many car owners who are looking for ways to solve the problem of cold car seats are intimidated by built-in models due to the more complex installation. However, if you follow the recommendations of experienced motorists, then installing heated seats with your own hands will not be such a hopeless undertaking.

1. The main advantage of built-in heating is the ability to connect not only the front but also the rear seats to the heat.
2. The built-in heater is connected discreetly, the wires are hidden under the interior trim.
3. The heating elements are connected directly to the car's electrical wiring, so the cigarette lighter socket will remain free.
4. When the heater is introduced into the seat, the profile of the car seat does not change, so that the interior of the cabin does not deteriorate.

Choosing the optimal heating kit

The range of heating elements for installation in car seats is quite wide. The buyer can choose the best option based on the features of the car interior and self-confidence. Most often, motorists purchase products from Russian, German and Chinese companies. It is clear that they differ both in quality and in cost.

1. Practice shows that the high price of German seat heating kits (like Weaco) is compensated by the highest degree of reliability. Heating systems are practical and versatile. They can be mounted not only on the front car seats, but also on the back. The heating element is equipped with several degrees of protection against overheating, and can also have two modes of operation.
2. Serious competition for German goods is made up of domestic kits from such companies as Avtoterm and Teplodom. In terms of reliability and quality, Russian samples are practically not inferior to German giants. The heating sets are protected against overheating, and an armored cable is used as a heating element. Some models have an automatic shutdown feature in case of overheating.
3. The most attractive price is products from China. Most often, this advantage is the only one, because Chinese heaters cannot boast of either quality or reliability. All the problems of cheap models arise from the use of the cheapest materials. Among the main problems with Chinese seat heating kits, motorists note:
   • frequent breakdowns of the power button;
   • wiring failure;
   • uneven heating of the seat;
   • electrical short circuit.

Seat heating installation sequence

Before you start installation work on installing the coolant, you need to pay attention to the size of the heating system control, as well as the method of attachment. The power buttons that come with the heating device do not always fit perfectly into the standard place on the dashboard. Sometimes the car owner has to purchase additional toggle switches or look for another place to install.

• Despite the presence of protection against overheating, it is advisable to play it safe and prudently introduce a fuse into the electrical circuit. Then, in the event of a short circuit, the on-board network of the vehicle will not suffer. The wiring diagram for seat heating kits can be found on the Internet forums for motorists.
• It is necessary to begin the installation of heating elements by disassembling the seat trim. This stage becomes the most difficult for the car owner, because it is important to remove the material without damage. Dismantling the car seat can take an unprepared person several hours. Approximately the same amount of time will be required to assemble the chair after installing the heater.
• When connecting the installed heating, there are usually no difficulties if you act in accordance with the instructions and do not violate the manufacturer's recommendations.
• Usually one set of heaters consists of two elements that will be used in the front seats. If you need to make the "heating" of the rear seats, you will have to purchase an additional kit. The rear seat heating is installed in the same way.

In the winter season, anyone would like to wrap themselves in a warm blanket with a mug of hot tea. But such an opportunity is far from always and not for everyone, because there are days when you need to go to work, to the store and many other places. In this case, there is a unique opportunity to create thanks to such an option as heated seats.

Benefits of warm seats

The main advantage of warm car seats is, perhaps, irreplaceable comfort, which no one would refuse. It is hard to imagine a person who would agree to sit on car seats that were soaked in the cold overnight. It is much more pleasant to sit in a preheated car, and even more so it is much more pleasant to sit in a car with warm seats.

Heated seats have a positive effect on people who suffer from diseases in which heating is recommended. Thanks to such seats, a certain physiotherapeutic effect is obtained. Most often, warm seats have a healing effect on sprains, sciatica, arthritis, or intercostal neuralgia.

The option of heated car seats significantly reduces the risk of certain diseases. After all, sitting down in winter can cause a lot of trouble to health, both women and men can chill the genitals, which is very unpleasant. When heated car seats are used, the risk of exacerbation or the occurrence of diseases that are directly related to hypothermia is significantly reduced.

The downsides of warm seats

Currently, more than half of the cars that are produced in Europe are already equipped with heated seats. At first glance, it may seem that this is a rather convenient feature in a car, but still this device must be used with extreme care.

In fact, a heated seat contains a lot of negative aspects, which can greatly deteriorate health.

Scientists have proven that devices such as heated seats are more dangerous for men. If used incorrectly, a man can suffer from infertility. Infertility can develop if a man stays long enough in a car seat that is heated to 38°C.

Women should also be somewhat wary of heated seats. After all, it can cause inflammation of the appendages, thereby greatly complicating life.

For people who have malignant tumors, or have, at least, suspicions of oncological diseases, overheating is categorically undesirable, because benign tumors can develop rapidly from overheating.

Never sit in heated car seats that are always on. After all, getting used to a warm seat, leaving the car, you can get a sharp cooling of the body, which can provoke the appearance of various kinds of diseases. Diseases can be minor, like a cold, and quite serious, like sciatica.

Seat heating is easy to install. But the main rule during installation is accuracy and experience. There can be no mistakes in such a case, because the installation is carried out at, an inexperienced person can at least ruin the upholstery. The first step is to remove everything that is on the frame. Then the heating elements are installed. Heating elements in this case replace Teflon-coated wires, as well as a nichrome spiral. The heating elements are placed on the seat backs and on foam rubber cushions. Only when the heating elements are correctly installed will the seats be heated.

When the car seats are in place, you need to properly connect the power, hide the wires and remove the button, which will be responsible for controlling the heated seats. After the car seats are equipped with heating elements, you can no longer worry and be afraid of severe frosts.

Only with such an option as heated seats, you can forever forget what discomfort is. And in no case should you forget that this option must be used correctly. Only through proper use, you can extract a lot of positive things for your body.
