Instructions as follows,Remove bolts for seats,unplug yellow air bag.DO NOT PLACE KEY IN IGNITION UNTIL COMPLETELY FINISHED.
Un clip four plastic strips,holding leather material to seat frame,front side and back of seat.Remove plastic seat sides.Lift leather material from front
of seat and peel back.You will come across 8 metal rings holding leather material to the seat foam.Cut these with very sharp snips.Lay heat pad sticky side down
with cable out the back of the seat.Repeat process back again,replacing metal rings with cable ties.Making sure thick piece of cable tie is pushed into foam of
seat,to avoid lumps in seat when finished.Replace four clips to seat front side and back.Now peel back upper upholstery to roughly shoulder blade height.
Again coming across metal rings.Cut these with very sharp snips, then place heating pad sticky side down with cable out the back of seat.Use cable ties again
to replace metal rings.Pull leather material down to original position.Drill hole for control button on plastic trim.Look inside plastic trim to see rectangle marking.
This is were to drill.The cable should feed through but the control button should stop hard against the plastic.Replace both plastic sides to each seat.
Now the wiring!! With the seats removed you can now see a slit in the carpet width ways(were the air bag cable comes out).Remove fuse box cover.
Look for two fairly thick white wires running across the face of the fuse box.These are your ignition feeds.Wire the two red wires to the white wires.
Once earth bolt is located,wire to black wires to the earth bolt.Tuck cables beneath passenger side kick sill,then across carpet in carpet slit.Leaving receiving
plugs accessible.Refit seats,(do not bolt down yet)plug in heated seat plug and air bag plug.Now bolt down seats.Job done. Time five hours.
There is an additional relay shown in the pictures,this was my addition for safety so i wouldn't drain the battery.Not supplied with kit.
NOW IT IS SAFE TO PUT KEY IN THE IGNITION.
