ancaf33 Posted October 3, 2018 Share Posted October 3, 2018 (edited) Hello, I have just aqquired a starlet in original condition and according to the user manual and a sticker in the car it is fitted with heated seats but I cannot find any button to turn it on. Does anyone have any idea where it might be located? I checked under the front seats and there is cords going to the chairs so I am pretty sure it has it. Would be nice to have it working now that winter is coming Edit: also the manual doesn't say where it is, just says it has heated seats Edited October 3, 2018 by ancaf33 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Bean Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 never heard of starlet heated seats but im not that familiar with the ep70s as the other models. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ancaf33 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yes maybe it was an addition available in Sweden since winters gets quite cold here. I can post pic of the manual stating it, and the sticker and also the cords if it could be of any help. Right now I do not have any heat in the car (the heat unit was removed by one of the previous owners due to leakage) I am waiting for one to arrive, but in the meanwhile it would be nice with seat heat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Yeah could well be a region specific extra or feature. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ancaf33 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 I looked today again everywhere in the car and can not find any button, would they fit it without adding a button? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
maerijn Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Guess the only way to find out is follow the wires coming from the seat Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ancaf33 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 True, I did not think of that, haha But it is rather strange, why fit heating if not fitting a button. I will report when I find it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ancaf33 Posted October 5, 2018 Author Share Posted October 5, 2018 If you're curious, here is a picture of the sticker in the car Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted October 5, 2018 Share Posted October 5, 2018 Try pressing the heated rear screen button. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 I think you will find they are not heated seats, but instead they are speakers. One of the many EP71's Ive owned had them fitted - they gave a bit of extra sound but it was more the vibration/bass than actual noise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ancaf33 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 (edited) Quite sure it's heated seats, here is a reference in the manual as well Edited October 7, 2018 by ancaf33 Forgot photos Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 7, 2018 Share Posted October 7, 2018 Very cool! Ive seen the speakers but never the heated seats. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ancaf33 Posted October 7, 2018 Author Share Posted October 7, 2018 Yes, I just don't know where to turn them on.. Could it be that a button is not fitted? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 Possibly. You'd have to take any blanks of any un-used switch positions and see if there are unused plugs behind, then check connectivity from there to the plug to the seats. You may find that there are relays to supply the seats via a switch. Start tracing and you'll find it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
