Installing Heated Rotec Carbon Seats

So hopefully next week I will be installing Ray's Carbon Rotec Seats, I have done a GT3 seat install before so am aware of the battery disconnect etc and seat belt wiring but where should I connect the heated seat pads wires to ensure they work with the OEM seat heating switch ???? Help would be appreciated

I have done this on a Subaru, so it is different. However it should be really obvious when you remove the factory seat as you will see the cable going from the center console into the seat. I would assume the connector is somewhat universal or easily modified as it will only be 3 wires. Just make sure that when you unbolt the factory seat you don't try to just yank it out. Look underneath for an insulated cable.

not quite that simple on a TT as there is a massive junction box under the seat

Those seats look amazing

Ray, so these seats don't use the factory heated seat button/rocker? How much weight saving for these over the stock heated leather seats?
Thanks

For those that have sat in these......do they sit as low as OE seats (w/OE's in lowest position)?

Thanks in advance.

Our sFCGT CF seats is 33lbs each with all sliders/brackets attached. It will be good 45-65lbs saving over a pair of OEM seats. The heated pads are powered by 12V which come with switch. I believe it can be wire up with OEM heated seat button.
