Ethanep82 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Does anyone know if underseat heating is standard? I picked up a part from a guy yesterday, he was snooping around my car and noticed I have heaters that go under passenger and drivers seats(no carpet). He said he's never seen them before? Is this not standard? Also I have a random electric box under my seat, a few wires come out into the dash. Nothing really wrote on it, been in the car since I've had it. The guy said he's never seen that either? :\ Quote
akyakapotter Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Get some pics up and heating to the rear passengers isn't standard no Quote

morgey Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Socks had one the other day. Came to the conclusion it was a snow edition thing. Quote
turbo Grant Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 I had the heater vents going under the front seats on my old black GT. Must have been an option when new The box is probably the oem amp Quote

aaddzz123 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 As grant said.The box will be an Amp for the stereo.The heater pipes I'm unsure! Sock's reckons it's a snow edition thing however I'm sure the car we removed them from wasn't a snow edition. I think it was more of an optional extra for rear foot heaters... The car also had an oversized heater matrix! Twice the size. Whether it's related or not I'm not sure. Quote

Yeah I doubt my car is a snow edition :| Ahhh where's the heat matrix, is it easy to check mine? Also I have the "Auto" setting on my heater controls, which is like the special climate control thingy right? Quote
daniel_g Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) My 85 has the underfloor heating and had a huge heater box, was speaking to Socks in a thread and i reckoned it could be a something to do with a winter spec, maybe not but it makes sense.The box is an optional AMP.

That would be pretty awesome to find out I have a winter spec car, Even with the sunroof LOL? Hmm, I'll get pics soon but it's only like size of a ECU? Quote

I'm afraid the heater matrix is tucked up behind the dash and isn't really accessible what so ever unless you take the dash and heater box out lol! It's a shit job. I'm on my way to work on my GT now and have an amp so I'll upload a picture. Quote
Ethanep82 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 (edited) Got some pics, before anyone says anything...YES it's messy I have a axle in the boot as well and bad pics haha Best heater pics I can take: Random box under seat pics: Any ideas lads?! Also just to say, they both identical design going under passenger as well, just couldn't take a good pic of it because seat is right the way forward and cant move seat back as rear axle is behind it.

aaddzz123 Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Well that doesn't look like an amp at all!.......... LOL. ??? Quote
Ethanep82 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 Well that doesn't look like an amp at all!.......... LOL. ??? EXACTLY!! I have never known my entire time having the car what it does, I should unplug it and see what happens really lol Quote
daniel_g Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 Take the lid off it and search thr part number. Quote

Dale SR Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 This is very interesting! I never knew of any underseat heating in starlets. Quote

See this thread.. http://www.ukstarletowners.com/topic/89735-rear-passenger-heaterscoolers/?p=1082337 Interesting, thanks for that. I have standard fogs, but not sure about starter motor or alternator... Quote
Ethanep82 Posted February 2, 2015 Author Posted February 2, 2015 I really want to know what the hell that box under my seat is Quote
Bean Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 remote central locking unit isnt it? the snow versions do have bigger starters and alternators. the starters are a fair bit bigger!! some times theres a sticker on the boot if its a snow version or under the bonnet on the skin ive seen them there on glanzas.

These guys are insane for optional parts.This is my key, the buttons dont actually work but i have aftermarket alarm with remote: Quote
Bean Posted February 2, 2015 Posted February 2, 2015 yeah it is probably disconnected somewhere when the alarm fitter fitted your system. my gt has the box under the seat it isnt uncommon, but i never got the key like yours when i bought the car so i cant use it! Quote
