Best way to get rid of TEMS switch ever!

[Jeff Lange]

Here it is folks... the moment I've been waiting for, lol:

Yay! Original seat heater switch, bought it from Toyota, and it's NOT cheap, and it takes about 7 weeks to get in (might have been longer, can't even remember anymore, lol). I think it was about $190 Cdn.

I've looked through the entire TEWD and can't find any connectors on the car that are the female end of this, so I can't splice one off a parts car Supra, but if anyone knows of another Toyota with this connector, I'll go down to the junkyard and pull the female end to wire this up. If not, I'll just change the connector, no biggie.

Why don't you want TEMS?

here's a dumb question for ya, where'd you get the seat heaters? or are they one of those things that are in every seat but not hooked up? not that i'm going to put heated seats in my car, as it's a sumemer car, but i'm just curious!

it looks WAY nicer than the TEMS switch!

I have Tein Flex coilovers, have had them for a couple years now.


I'm going to be using aftermarket seat heaters, the stock ones only have a bottom heater on the passenger side, plus it's probably cheaper/easier to get aftermarket ones.

that......or a boost controller!

but yeah thats cool.

 

[Jeff Lange]

Meh, boost controller wouldn't fit 100% perfectly, no good for me .

jeff is anal about fitment in his car. just look at the damn thing! its beautiful! makes me wonder if he ever fixed those tail light seals...

Plus modern day seat heaters are far superior to older ones in safety, heat far more evenly, and are easier to install.

ah, i see. it's definately a nice luxury to have. a buddy of mine has a new subaru imprezza 4 door that has heated seats, and in the winter, it was absolutely amazing. (i was still driving my '71 chevy with a heater core the size of a slice of cheese)

Yup, and they aren't even too pricey either.
