Heated Seats

Hi guys, thinking about my next mod, Heated Seats.
I have a 2005 Vert getting ready for spring got me to thinking it would be nice to have a little extra heat without the heater motor blowing on max for those chilly cruises. Anyone install these kits? I noticed a few on Evil Bay and this company..
To the guys who have this feature, do you use it? Worth it?
Thoughts...

I had a set put in my wife's Escape and they work great. I really don't know what brand they were but I had the place I bought them install them also.

If you have an 05, check under the seat to see if you have the wiring. My coupe does as well as behind he panel for the switches. If you do you can have the OEM installed.

Just a update, I pulled the trigger on the heated seat kit, I chose to go with the Ebay listing from China as I have read a few positive reviews.
I was surprised to find the kit arrived super fast! (8 days) The quality of the kit was on par as the well advertised American company at less than half the cost! (I wonder where they get them ?) Ceramic elements wrapped in cloth. All wiring, relays, fuses and switches included. Ironically the instructions were the same set with both vendors!
The install went smooth with the help of a few you tube videos... no surprises, I mounted the switches in the arm rest on the removable panel used to gain access to the hand brake adjuster.
Nice little mod for the 05 Vert and Spouse approved!

Cheers

Well i figured my car had the wiring for the mycolor so the only other option I do not have is the heated seats. So I checked and sure as your uncle Bob, there were the wires...

So I may have to do this before next winter...:

Did you ever check under the front seats to see if you had the OEM wiring for the heated seats? Mine does as well as the wiring behind the console for the switches. i will be ordering all the OEM parts just before fall from ford.
