Camry 2012+ :: Cloth Air Bag / How To Add Heated Seats
Oct 26, 2013
My wife has a 2012 Camry with cloth seats and integrated air bags.
I'd like to install aftermarket heat elements. I'm worried that I'll damage something with the airbags as I pull the covers.
I plan on disconnecting the battery, and then removing the seat from the vehicle however the built in airbag has me worried.
I want to mount the switch in the empty panel next to the traction control button.
Where is the closest fuse box on this vehicle?

This morning, the driver's heated seat in my 2012 Lariat did not seem to operate properly. (It worked fine approx 14 hours earlier.) Note that my seats have both the heat and cool options.
I started the truck (its NOT garaged and the air temp was -5 F, which has been kinda typical lately) and turned on the driver's heated seat to high (level 3). I noticed that the seat's 'air noise' was more than normal (I've always noticed a more air noise with the 'cool' setting .........
No, I was not using 'cool' instead of 'heat' !) and that the seat never warmed up during the 10 minute drive. (Normally it would be noticeably warm in less than 5 minutes.) The 'air noise' seemed to cycle off/on toward the end of the drive. I did not have a passenger, so I did not have a chance to try that seat.
I've owned the truck about 2 years and had never run into this before.

2012 f250 diesel Lariat 4dr 4x4. He called me today cause he knows I do all the work on my own F250 diesel. He has heated seats in the back and he said that they turn on by them selves and they won't turn off. He had to actually disconnect the wire harness to get the heating elements to turn off so his wife's friends wouldn't burn their bottoms in the middle of august is Texas.. Any ways, he said both sides are staying on and wouldn't turn off using the switch.
I'm not very familiar with the heated seat wiring, especially for the back seats. I told him their may have been a relay that went bad, but now I"m thinking that they much have a controller or something that is acting up. He said that the front seats are acting normal. Also, he has the touch screen and navigation upgrade as well as auto climate control, not sure if this stuff matters for the back seats though...

I was talking to a coworker of mine this morning about the unseasonably cold weather we have been having in Atlanta the last few days, and she said that she left her sunroof open during a storm that we had the other day and now her heated seats aren't working. She has an XLE with leather heated seats. Blew a fuse perhaps? Or possibly destroyed the heating mechanism? Or maybe just the switch itself? Both seats are not working. The clock, radio, nav, etc are all working so its not the fuse. Also, the lights on the switches themselves are working so they seem to be ok.

I got a 2010 Prius with factory heated leather seats and problem is that they are always powered on, driver and passenger side, both of them.
When I press switch under the bar it makes click sound but does not make any difference, the light on the buttons are steady ON no mater you press it, hold it or anything.

The 'issue' is that for the driver's seat (18-way seat), position 1.5 is slightly too hot and position 1.0 is slightly too cool. The adjustment is only in 0.5 increments so I have a problem - so far the only solution has been to keep changing the setting between 1.0 and 1.5 every few minutes.
On the passenger side the ratio of heat to settings is slightly different and 1.5 is about right. Is there any adjustment / calibration possible between adjustment setting and actual seat temperature?

I have a 2016 Hyundai Elantra with the Value Pack that I bought just a few weeks ago. The car has heated seats that work great, but the heated seats always seem hot. They are certainly not as warm as when you have them turned on, but they always feel very warm.

We havent use our heated/AC seats for awhile. Now we noticed that the heated/AC seats will goes lower after awhile.
I asked the dealer and they're told me is normal. Lexus designed that way. wtpho!
I'm currently using a 2016 NX200t loaner and both heated/ac seats stayed on at the same fan speed.
Is it normal or dealer just playing with me?

Both seats stopped heating at the same time. The lights on the switches don't light up anymore either. Winter is coming to Colorado- where do I start to try to figure out the problem?

So I picked up an 06 passat this weekend. Everything is great except that my heated seats aren't working. I'm sure a few of you are experiencing this cold snap. I checked the obvious being the fuse(es). I noticed on the right panel it doesn't accept a fuse. I assume this would be for rear heated seats? The one on the left seems to be unblown. Where to check? Or my next step?

I have a 2014 IS350 F sport and I don't like how the heated seats when turned on max heat, it automatically decrease in heat level over time. Is there anyway you can set it to stay max hot? I don't like how it goes to Min setting after 10-15 mins or so.

I noticed the heated seats won't turn off. Is that normal? If it's turned on and shows 3 bars it won't slowly go down to off.

I noticed if it's around -30c heated seats won't work until car has been driven for a bit. Sometimes only 1 seat can be heated at a time. Usually lights in buttons flicker. Other owners in cold weather want to add to this?

Although the manual is silent on the topic, I can swear that the font seats in my new PriusC warm up on cold mornings. There is no on/off switch for this to happens...

My friend is not able to get the heated seats to turn off.
I found the fuse for the a/c and seat heaters combined, but no separate fuse.
Both seats are on. Pressing the button shuts them off, but releasing the button powers them back on.
I need a wiring diagram or how-to ???

How does your heated seats control operation work? Does the heat control automatically decrease from position 3 > 2 > 1 > Off over-time? Or, does the heat control stay (remain) in whatever position (1 - 2 - 3) you select without any (auto) change?
What is the default operation - Auto Decrease or Stays the Same?
How to change the heated seat operation method? I recall seeing somewhere to hold both heated seat button controls down until it beeps to make a change in the method of operation...and doing the same again will change it back. How to confirm that this (change) method to be accurate?

So I picked up my new 2016 LWB loaded 6 passenger Santa Fe yesterday and I'm finding today that NONE of the heated seats are doing anything. The ventilation (fan) works, the heated steering wheel works, but all 4 seats are inoperative. Now, I'm coming from a 2014 Santa Fe Sport with the same heated and ventilated seats that worked fine, and my life has a 2015 Genesis 3.8 AWD and hers all work fine. I've checked the fuses located in the dash and those are fine.
