If you have some skills and some know how sure why not. Search the forum and you will find many threads on heated seats and even some writeups.

Yeah, I was checking them out but they are all for kits that are meant to be installed aftermarket.

You can, but as was said you need some skill knowing what to do, especially tying into the Canbus. I can do alot, but doing that and then cutting out for switch placement, removing seats and installing pads, I had an experienced dealer tech do that one. For me, it was worth it. I'm glad I did. Everything works perfect and the electrical tie in shuts it off when the doors are opened also. The cut out was done under the bank of switches, on a 10 Rubi, and came out like it was a factory install.
