I really doubt the per-unit hardware cost to install heated seats is anywhere near what they cost to option. it's not a complex technology, and plenty of cheap cars come with them standard. the manufacturer might even break even on the additional parts cost by only making one kind of seat. or they might make up for it by increasing the margin in some other option that you may or may not choose. who knows?
- sokoloff 4y agoSupporting your point: Two-seat aftermarket kits are around $50. I installed one (driver’s side only) in our CR-V and it’s well-worth the time to do so in New England. (If your seat-floorpan bolts aren't too rusty, it was a leisurely 60-90 minute job and would be 30-45 minutes to do the second one.)
