The heater for the seat is just some 'electric blanket' coils just under the
upholstry.  I see no reason why you could not take these parts from a Jetta
with heated seats and use them on your Vanagon.  Maybe this is another item
to add to my Syncro DoKa!

Subject: Heated seats

Stan need not reply... ;)

On the Canadian (and presumably European models as well) an option not
available in the continental US was heated front seats.

I love heated seats. I'd love to be able to equip my vans with them (or
more accurately retrofit my existing seats with the heating
elements...if possible.)

I noticed that Larry Chase's newly upholstered seats also have a lumber
support ( I think) at least for the drivers side. I presume that was
something that Sewfine added.

Any Canadian members with access to heated seats?
