As said it may need re-coding back onto the vehicle as an option seen this a couple of times before.

There is no retrofit kit for heated seats, if you retrofit it can the software add in an option that the car was not speced with originally or if there is no retrofit path?Mike
Its just an option in a control unit to tell the car it has it available. Just needs activating.

Ok thanks. I am going to retrofit heated seats to my 996 using all OEM parts. I'll keep that in mind. So by the look of it they won't work without the coding being done?
We have fitted a couple of cars using all OE parts, no coding required as the seats do not have any software control units apart from the relay/switch unit under each seat. It takes its supply from the fuse board in the drivers footwell, the supply is there, it just needs the other side of the fuse holder terminal, the fuse and then the supply wire installing. No coding required, it will just work when installed. Hope thats of use.
