I screwed up. I factory ordered a 23.5’ Defender 130 X-Dynamic SE back in April with virtually every option checked, including cold climate package. Somehow I had assumed the rear (2nd row) seats would be heated, but I’ve since come to realize they’re not.

Has anyone installed heated rear seats after the fact? Wiring already in place? Are the existing climate controls the same…maybe requiring a software update to enable, or is this all wishful thinking?

 

Bought a demo car and it’s missing rear heated seat option. Would love to have this retrofitted to combat cold Canadian weather 😅

 

get a quality sheep skin covers, they work like a charm.
Ask pilots.

 

It’s likely the only “back in the day we had it so hard” story your gen-z kids are going to have. Don’t deprive them of that one thing.

 

I'm moving from warm to cold climate so need to think about it as well. I assume easy and extremely expensive way would be to replae the seats alltogether, to get something like this I assume it's a must:
Cheaper and more tricky option is to just replace the cushions or even install the heating elements inside the cushions..

Plan Z is something 3rd party like these: https://www.britpart.com/parts/seats...t-seat-heaters tbh I would rather not tho.
