Retrofitting heated seats to a D3s
Looking to buy a D3 at present but a lot of the good ones in my price range are the s model with cloth seats. Is it possible to convert these to heated seats and,if so, what is the likely cost. I am a newbie to this site so apologies if this is covered elsewhere.
Thanks

I also checked it out, the cost of the interior is so expensive it is as cheap to buy the next trim level up with heated already fittedAndy.

I think I must have looked at some base models online as they had air suspension but unheated cloth seats. Thanks for the advice. I know what to look for now.

I looked at a few XS models with leather , but non of them where heated. I bought an SE in the end.
Specs seem to be all over the place with base models with leather and mid range with cloth,
Wait for the right spec, there are plenty to choose from.Andy.

Thanks all. Now looking at XS/SE spec with the seats already heated as I guess there will be other demands on my credit card in the first few months of ownership!
