I'm looking at this option right now. I think the install will be even easier for me as I'm running a set of neoprene seat covers...I'll probably just slide the heating pads between the seat cover and the factory uphostery. As long as they don't start moving around in there, that strikes me as the simplest solution.

I have had mine for about a year now. I mounted my switches by the gear shift and cup holders (see photo a few pages back). I would highly recomend putting your switch in this location as it is much easier to get to than having to reach past the shifter.
These took me most of an afternoon to install. Takes a little longer if you want to install the switches in the console as then you have to pull that apart too.
No splicing was required

So I'm wondering, if you've got an 09 with the net and an auto where the heck you mount the switch.

I've got an 09 auto,
I would mount mine above the Auto trans lever, there is a semi circular recess.
Its not as convenient as the spot in front of the manual, but it should blend it pretty well I think.

I'll probably just put mine where the OP put his, but I really wanted the little cargo net. lol Oh well, looks like the heated seats just saved me 40 bucks or whatever that little part cost. lol

Ah yes, forgot about that location. Probably forgot about it because mine seems to get filled with change all the time. lol

All done!! Nice and toasty seats now! OK had to chase down some hog rig pliers at Home Depot. Check in the chain link fence hardware section. One thing is that they stay on after you shut the Jeep off.
. So not too sure on that but not going to re wire for it.

If you insert the DC "T" plug into the passenger side cig lighter wiring, you'll get unswitched power. Driver's side should get you switched power. At least that's what my multimeter tells me about my jeep.
Also bear in mind that the "switched" power doesn't switch off when you turn the engine off. You still have "switched" power on until you open the door.
If you plugged into the driver's side power point, and your heated seats stay on after you take the key out and open the door....
Maybe that's something to mention to your stealership. I'm pretty sure that the power point on that side is supposed to be switched. It'd be way too easy to leave the seats on "melt yo butt" setting and drain your battery if you're using unswitched power.
