RSX seats w/ heaters
Hey, I'm thinking of buying some RSX seats and the install seems pretty straight forward, but I've only found info on seats from the US which don't have seat heaters.
Has anyone installed these seats and hooked up the heaters? I think he may have to cut the wires when he takes them out but I'm not sure. If anyone has done this could you tell me what was involved and where you mounted the switches, etc.

Rep Power: 256 FYI, Acura Switches are like $60 each, just use rocker switches from cdn tire.
I want to hook up the back heater and some sort of hi / low switch. I just may end up having to buy oem ones grrr

Rep Power: 271 if you want a clean look..
also you can try to look up after market heated seats on eBay and google ( i found some in the past ) and check with the supplier if they can provide you with some switches. They look clean, have little pictures for high low and will fit like OEM.

Rep Power: 256 Just got off the phone with North Town Acura (parts are open til midnight 
), it turns out a heated seat switch from an RSX costs $95cdn! but he said it seems like you only need one as they control both.
Can anyone find a pic of this button? How big would it have to be to control two seats in hi / lo

@ $95 a switch think I might just ask around at a few scrap yards

I've tried the junk yards in vancouver at Michelle Island..all of the them said they don't have any
btw, which plug is the heated seat plug under the seat??
i have 4 seperate plugs, 3 grey and a yellow one, i know one of them is the seatbelt, and i forgot what the other ones are..can someone take a pic of the heated seat plug?
