The reason why I am asking is because of the level of heat options in the '01. But people have told me that it is more than just replacing the '03 heated seat switch with a '01. Some have said that the heated seat is controled by the computer. Question: which computer?

If anyone knows how I could convert the '01 heated seat switch to an '03 plz let me know.

I'm not sure what CPU exactly controls it... but this has been discussed before and it was determined it would be kind of costly. You would need new switches (which probably aren't much), but the module which controls the 2-way function would be the majority of the cost.... whether it's just a module or you a whole unit... I don't know.... maybe someone with a HELMS for a 2001 can help.....

 

In terms of costly I plan on taking all the parts from my '01 and placing them on a '03.

What changed with the heated seats for 03? I think I remember the 6speed has them set up differently because of how the entire center console area has changed to accomodate the shifter (and that shitty cupholder you guys got hehe).

 

Compared to the '01, the '01 have dual stage heating, low/high/off. Rather than the '03 which are high/off.

me like the low high and off better

 

Wow that's crazy! I thought only the 6speed got the simple High/Off seat heaters.

 

Only the 6spd has the High/Off setting.

 

i always thought that the 03 does have hi/lo/off

i thought u just push the button and there are 3 levels

 

unless the manual's are different, my 03 auto has low/high/off

 

Yeah, that's what I thought.

 

The '03MT has one button position but...

When I turn my seats on they get very warm, then cool off a little but stay warm.

I have always assumed that was the way they were supposed to work.

 

waste of money IMO


plus if the dlrship if ever found out, they would give u a very hard time

 

Its a cosmetic thing. As long as I use 'Genuine Honda' parts :FART: then they have nothing to throw at me.

Yea u and some others may think that it is a waste of money but look at some people already they hate to live with only High/Off.

When my heated seats used to work. Switching to high would 'stay' high, then when it got too hot I would set them on low. Perfect.

Yep, mine do the same... only they do it without me pushing the button... now that is service!!!

Now if I could only find that BJ button.. I know it is here somewhere.
