Interior/Exterior Never Ordered Heated Seats, But They Are!
#29
2006 MCS hardtop.
There are 3 wire bundles and connectors (yellow=seatbelt,blue=airbag,black=airbag)
THere would be a 4th if I was setup with heater elements in the seat.
Drat, I guess I'll have to do it the hard way.

I have heard of retrofitting the seats that didn't come with the heated seats option. A friend of mine ordered it with heated seats but at delivery, to his suprise, no heated seats. The buttons were missing. Without replacing the seats, they installed the heating option but not sure what they did.
From a manufacturing standpoint, it would make sense to just make one seat with all the heated elements.
Let us know what the MA or SA says. From someone who wished he had heated seats, I wouldn't hesitate to get that installed if possible. Almost seems like a do-it yourself kind of job.

Not sure if this is helpful, but on my 03 Cooper (WITH heated seats), there are 4 connectors: yellow, blue, and TWO black. In pictures i've seen of others WITHOUT heated seats, there are only a yellow and a blue connector. Based on that, I always assumed the two black connectors were for the heaters in the seat bottom and seat back.
I have no idea if things are different on the newer MINIs.

After reading this thread I checked my English leather seats in my 06. There are 4 connectors on the driver side and 5 on the passenger. A yellow, blue and black are connected on both sides with an additional white on the passenger side. I assume the white connection is for the passenger airbag sensor. There is an empty black connector on both sides. Would this be the heated seats option?
Here's a shot of the passenger side.

Yep, it was in and out of production dependent on type of seats order with your MINI. If you have the extra plug, then it can be done.
MINI gave most seats the heating element / plug pre-installed 12/2001- . Its was in and out with the seat productions. But its good to check:
Note : You will have to check under your MINI seats ( passenger and driver towards the front under the bottom cushion) to see if the extra seat plug/ empty plug socket is there for this upgrade to work.
Part number 61110145996 is the full kit:

And here is some more info about the heated seats and the retrofit install.

Also there are some inline plugs that are for people who have the heated seat retrofit installed or have the full heated seat button/ heating elements from the factory as ordered with there MINI. Or possible installing them then can set them hotter or cooler then stock. I have the hotter wire adapter as I prefer them a little hotter.
Here is the SI M 610104 if anyone needs it attached.
