I want to retro fit a heated seat panel to the front drivers seat, I may do the passengers seat too, its my 2005 C Class 180K.

They are 35W per side so 70W if I use two.

I am planning to fit the switch (3 position) on the side of the centre console - not that fussy about it being on the dash.

I was thinking of using a live feed from the cigar lighter - I understand that this switches on and off with the ignition which is ideal, use an inline 15A fuse to each heated seat, using lengths of mains cable.

May just do passenger. Probably take the inline fuse out after winter, and put it in when needed.

What could possibly go wrong :bannana::fail with taking a live feed from the cig lighter? Is there a better way?

Thanks

Here is the kit:
1 x Auto Carbon Heated seats retrofit kit Universal 2x Heated seats round switch: Amazon.co.uk: Car & Motorbike
 
Got something similar via flea bay, getting ready to fit the drivers side - any takers:

Is the cigar lighter the best place to pick up a live feed?

Thanks
