AC/Heater What are the Blanks for next to the Cigar lighter ?

braque10 · 20th January 2008, 20:44

They seem to be blank on all models

Unknownsoldier · 20th January 2008, 20:52

They are for the heated seat switches, for those with leather on the 5 door.

Heated seats mate, if you wish to pay extra for them in the U.K.

They look a bit strange on the £20k Type R !

But maybe its me being pedantic!

Came in handy for me - the TrafficMaster Q-Busta switch fits there perfectly (but only sideways).

Why?

Every other Civic without heated seats has them. Just because the top of range EX with leather has the swiches, why should Honda add cost and remove the blanking plates on models lower down the range?

In the Nordic countires heated seats are standard.

I have heated seats on my executive but i don't have leather seats, very useful though on cold mornings.

Leather seats are £800 option on all 5 door models
add leather then the heated seats switches go on

and are they toasty

and make you feel like you've wet yourself after a while

- had heated on the IS, but rarely used it.

I always found that by the time the seat had warmed up sufficiently the heater was blowing hot anyway.

Heated seats but no leather??? how?

csmcqueen · 31st January 2008, 15:13

What does it look like with the heated seat switches in, has anyone got a picture ?

DeanFYoung · 31st January 2008, 15:16

Different country options.

UK doesnt get cold enough to warrent heated seats on non-leather, though it would still be nice I am sure; I believe this is down to 'Market Research'....

Re the heating time, I find mine heats up very quickly, the high setting does this, then I switch to low to keep me toasty...

RickyBoy · 5th February 2008, 06:13

I disagree. Scotland is chuffin freezin. We only see the sun around 6 days a year otherwise it rainin and cold.

do you mean original, Honda heated seat switches (but without heated seats)?

I would be amazed if you couldn't!

The switches are different left and right side (don't ask why!), and have 6 or 7 pins each.
So you might also need to purchase the connector block (which might be waaay pricey if it's part of a bigger set of wiring), or make up your own connectors.

The good news is that that are several pin combos for 'on - high', more for 'on -low' and just one combo for 'off', so plenty to choose from
