Scottster Posted August 8, 2007 Report Share Posted August 8, 2007 I told myself last winter I would not go another one without something to heat my buns during those cold mornings. I had installed a heated seat kit into my previous SVT Contour, and just wonder if the same is possible for the Pontiac. The thing is the Contour was a piece of cake, since the upholstry was basically a big "sock" slid over the seat frame, and foam padding. The AQ9's seem to complex for it to be that easy to remove the upholstry intact, and then go back together again. Besides, if the foam is glued to the leather, than it wouldn't be possible either. Has anyone ever had one appart, or know enough about them to tell me if this is possible with these seats or not? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
z34Phoenix Posted August 9, 2007 Report Share Posted August 9, 2007 not sure what seats your talking about, but i installed heated seats on my factory Monte seats and then when i got a set of 93 cutty seats i installed the seat heater in them. if you go to my cardomain, you will find my writeup on the install... basicly i got a seat heater from walmart those seat pads you put on top of chairs, but you cut them up and install in your factory seats.

Scottster Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 The AQ9 seats are infinitly adjustable ones with the air bladders, offered on the 1st gens. I just think with the complexity of the seat, it may not be possible, or as easy to do as your's were. I suppose I could always "do surgery" to one in a J/Y to see what they look like in the inside.

synistershadows Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 sweet deal!! and what size speaker you have under the front dash?? is it a sub or just another speaker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabz Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Speaker, I think those are 6" infinity's. The box sucks cause it aint sealed. I plan to mount these to the door panels after I fabricate a sealed encloser into the door panels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottster Posted August 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 I have done this to the seats in my Cutlass International. Here are some pics Seat Heater Pics That's mint...just what I was looking for... ...now how did you do it! lol I mean, what was required to get the upholstery off the seat? If you could share the process of the project, I would truely appreciate it!!! Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pabz Posted August 10, 2007 Report Share Posted August 10, 2007 Well, its been a while. First you have to start pulling off the seat cover material, this is done by tilting the seat forward and follow the seat cover to the rear, it is held on by a long U type clip that snaps over a rod. As seen here at the end of the materialPull back the material and release the clip, then you have to remove the rings that hold the material to the seat. They are all over the place along the lines for the ass area and lower back area, Plyers or wirecutters will work. There is a rod that holds the material down to create the crease between the part under your knees and the ass area. I had to remove this because it would interfere with the seat heater. So it isn't all that formed to the cushion in that area but i didnt care. The same process for the back portion of the seat, where the lower back area meats the upper back area. Sorry the description is pretty vage. But once you take the clips off the rear of the seat and start pulling forward it will be easy from there.

Addicted2bass Posted August 15, 2007 Report Share Posted August 15, 2007 A couple people have asked me if my aq9s were heated cuz they have that perforated leater. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990lumina Posted August 16, 2007 Report Share Posted August 16, 2007 It doesn't matter whether the leather is perforated or not, I've seen heat in either type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
