Heated seats?
« on: November 21, 2020, 10:00:11 am »
On ebay, there is a heated seat control for the Fiero.  I have never seen such in the Fiero (not that I was specifically looking), and can't find it anywhere.  Did the Fiero have heated seats as an option?

Does it look new? I’ve seen where companies pay for most searched items or cars etc then tailor a boat load of adds claiming this universal product will work on your car. But when I do Mr. Mike's seats I’ll be trying to figure out how to add heat and cooling. I’m sure it’s easy. 😂

Darn, ot mustxve sold.  Can't find it.

To answer your question, it appeared to be from the '90's.  I couldn't place it.  Yes, I have seen those ads.

I used to shut down such sites, but, when people stopped paying, I stopped shutting them down.

The Fiero never came with heated seats.  The 88 had the option of an adjustable lumbar support in the cloth seats.  The control was on the driver's right seat bottom bolster.

Why heated, in GA?  Does it even get cold?

I did heated seats in mine when I did the me mike's install. After talking with him directly I gave up on my hope for cooled seats. Mr Mike doesn't have perforated leather/leatherette and said he will not cary it due to issues with durability and cleaning. So just the heaters went in.

Do you use heated seats there?  I have heated seats, but usually only use them when temps get below 20 degrees.

More comfortable on a cold day but mostly my bad back likes the heat.

I have found that a comfy seat is good for my back.  The heat just helps when my body temp is low.

When I was driving my G6 to work, in the winter, I really enjoyed the heated seats.
I find that they are not really as necessary for cloth seats as they are for leather.

Regarding Mike and the perforated leather... I've been reading that he is discontinuing leather altogether, and just doing leatherette and cloth. Maybe it's just some colors, though.

I need to have a talk with him.

Yes, leather, vinyl, and similar materials transfer more cold and heat.

I have a really bad back and so I use them for muscle relief after practices and games.
