Have you tried looking up the part numbers at, say, www.realoem.com?

yea, ive tried real oem, it will give me the switches and the heating elements, but no wiring harness, i guess the better thing to do might be to just put a wanted add out for a seat heater wiring harness here on ti.org

I see what you mean. I did find this harness, however, which I thought was kind of fun. I just need to get the matching dog.

thanks for that Uber, i found other install directions here

http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/int...t_install.html

but that part number will make finding the harness much easier, i already have the relay, the harness is the last thing i need, then its the install

I prefer pictures, but that looks like an insane amount of work for butt warmers. Its weird that PN doesnt come up on realoem but i found it on tischer, not too bad to buy new if you have to.

i only have to do bout half of that work, i have heated Vaders already so all i have to do is install the harness, looks to me like it would be a days worth work maybe a lil longer, the interior of our cars comes apart and goes back together fairly smoothly, and as far as getting the wiring through the firewall that would just take a coat hanger and some patients

You are either much more patient than me or have much more spare time than me. Either way kudos for tackling this. I have butt warmers in my prius (commute 100 miles a day dont hate =P) and I love them but I wouldn't feel satisfied spending a full day to install them.

lol prius....naa its cool that means ur ti is a garage baby anyways i have more patients than most might, and i have a personality type that doesn't let me stop tinkering with things. and as far as time goes, its not like i have to drive my car much of anywhere, i live bout 1/2 mile from campus and i have a bicycle that i ride everywhere (even to the store), so the project can take as long as it takes to get er done
