Post some pics of your new (and RARE) 6mt GTS when you can buddy... So glad you jumped on that deal and got the 6-speed! So cool.Ezm3 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 04, 2020 9:14 pm Great write up. I recently acquired a 2010 GTS with black cloth and non heated seats.
If I purchased a set of leather heated seats, you are saying all I'd need to purchase would be the center stack piece to enable this feature? Very tempting if I can find an interior if so.
Thanks!

It happened to be from a salvage yard that had the full set listed on eBay for about $650 (freight included). Likely a bit more expensive than finding an interior locally, but there just aren't many listed around these parts. The eBay listing had excellent photos of all of the pieces, so I knew the full set was in very good condition, without spending loads of time hunting around for something local(-ish) in decent condition.AirRideFan wrote: ↑Thu Sep 02, 2021 5:20 pm
Dudddde...that is SOOO cool. I love stuff like this. You put the tan backs on the new black leather-trimmed seats, too!? That looks so cool. And I agree with KlutzNinja-- If they made the Blue with Black Interior----I'd HAVE to have one of them. You prob have the only Kizashi with this color combo! Nice job man.
Where did you acquire the seats-- a local junkyard or U-Pull-and-Pay, I'm guessing?? They look so great though! wow...
My experience comes only from the Kizashi as sold here in the US. I can't speak to what differences exist in the Kizashi sold in other markets. While, best I can tell, all of the models here in the US / Canada were wired (and fuses in place) for the heated power seats that does not need to be the case elsewhere.
The best advice I can offer would be to get a copy of the service data for Kizashi sold in your market, and look at the wiring diagrams, and see what the difference is between the model you have, and the model you acquired the seats from. IF the difference is small you may be able to take the connectors off of your old seats and graft them on to the wiring in your new seats. However, is it is more substantial (missing power wires, missing fuses , etc) the matching connector may need to be acquired and additional wiring would need to be run
I have the Australian market Kizashi. I checked today, all the fuses were in place, but it just seemed to be the wires. I can't check if they are where they need to be cause then I'll need to rip up the carpet. Looking in the dash fuse box, I could see the matching coloured wires for the seat, so I suppose there is an input that isn't being outputted (aka no seat wires)
