BMW R850C, R1200C Retrofitting a seat heater

We cannot accept seat shipments from Non-EU countries due to incurring customs fees. If you have to ship your seat to us from outside the European Union, we unfortunately cannot offer you our service “retrofitting a seat heater”.

Retrofitting a 2-stage (15W/30W) seat heater for seats that do not have seat heating as standard.
Possible either only in the driver's position or in the driver's and passenger's position.

The original seat cover must be removed for installation, which is why it must not be glued to the foam core! Check whether the cover can be lifted off the foam core! To do this, pinch the cover between your thumb and forefinger and try to lift it (see figure 4). Attention: If the cover is glued, the seat heating can only be retrofitted in combination with a seat conversion (see seat conversion (one-piece seat) / seat conversion (two-piece seat))!

After installing a seat heater, the cable for the power supply is led out under the seat shell (approx. 20 cm long with plug connection). You will receive an approx. 120cm long connection cable with a two-stage, round built-in toggle switch (diameter approx. 20mm) for each heated seat position. The connection to the electrical system of your motorcycle should be carried out by a specialist workshop, knowledge of motorcycle electronics is required! A circuit diagram is included.

The seat heater will be installed on your seat - you have to send it in!
The change takes about 2-3 weeks.

The illustration of the lead-through of the connection cable is an example. The location of the grommet may vary depending on the seat and model.
