Heated center console

[RiggerRoy]

I'm thinking about putting an aftermarket heating element under the upholstery on my center console lid, and tying into the heated seat controller. Has anyone tried this before?

…why? To keep snacks or a live pet? Not attempting to sound like a jerk honestly those are the only things I could think up

That would be sweet especially in snowy areas! I’ve never seen anyone do it though

Thanks for the insight.

Thanks for the insight.

Was a sincere question as to why? I just lack filtering and via text it can probably be taken the wrong way

I've seen videos of people changing the upholstery on it and it looks pretty easy. I can't imagine it would be too difficult to do. If I end up doing it, I'll be sure to post some pictures or a video.

Yeah I’ve reupholstered mine and I really don’t think it would be too difficult to add the heating element. As long as you’re creative on how you route the wires and splice into the factory wire I think you’ll be Golden!
