    Failing that, is there an easy to use nearby power source ? I think I'll need a switched live (for controls) and a permanent live (for heating element).

    Any comments welcome

    p.s. this is what I'm thinking of buying:

    i think all the wiring you need should be in the plug underneath the seat - when i swapped power seats in for manual seats it was just plug and play, since you have no heat there ought to be a couple that go into the plug from the carpet but that aren't used from the seat side. not sure which is what tho, it's probably different on yours anyway.

    edit - the photo is of the plug underneath my old passenger seat. i'm assuming the 3 wires (brown, green, black/grey) there go directly to the heat switch since there were no other electrical components on the seat - brown is ground on mine.

    oh and that link doesn't work.
