We prepare sledges from summer — what kind of heated seats to choose: a comparison of models
Heated seats — a necessary thing for the driver, because in winter they protect against illnesses, provide comfortable conditions for travel. Not every car is equipped with this option, so you will have to buy the product separately.
In the store «130.com.ua» there are many offers: from the most inexpensive and ending with luxury models. If your task is to choose a design that will last for many years, then it is worth taking into account a number of features.
Types of seat heating
The entire range of such structures is divided into 2 types: embedded and capes. The first are more complex installation, sometimes even not without the help of a specialist. You will need to clean up the seat cover, properly place the heating elements and put everything in place. Their main advantage is a long service life and besides, they do not disturb the aesthetics of the salon.
The cape is more simple to mount: simply fix it to the seat with the help of fasteners or fasteners. It is more exposed to external influences, but in the summer it can be removed.
In addition, models can be equipped with several modes of operation, automatic shutdown and protective systems. There are devices that, in addition to heating, can offer the driver a massage. The concrete heating is selected depending on your desires and possibilities.
Features of the installation
Seat heating functions due to the on-board network, so it is important to properly connect all the connectors. There are models suggesting a plug for a cigarette lighter — they are installed much easier and are found mainly in cloak models. One of the consequences of incorrect connection of the built-in structure is a short circuit. Therefore, if you doubt that you can properly make the installation, it is better to seek help from a specialist.
When choosing a preheater, pay attention to the type of heating element. For example, wire is more affordable, but if there is a shortage in one part, the whole device will stop working. More effective and reliable models with tape-type elements, but their cost is higher.
