I have been asked about my seats before and to anyone wondering I love them. I couldn’t imagine a prius without leather seats and the heated option is just a nice bonus. I guess that is because since I was young my family has always had leather seats in our vehicles so I’ve just grown accustom to them.
Anyway, there isn’t really much to explain in terms of HOWTO or “modding”. The Toyota dealer installed the seats in my car before they ever delivered it to me. I was told that since you cannot get a Prius with heated seats that they took the seats out of a Camary and put them in my Prius. Regardless of whether this is true or not I don’t know and frankly don’t care because the seats match the interior color perfectly and the heated functions both work very well.
I’ve updated my Picasa Web Album titled “Prius Pictures” showing 3 shots of my seats. One shows the heated seat button and the other two are just general shots. So, check out my pictures and let me know what you think of this “mod”.

Hi Kurt!
Thank you for sharing this info. I am looking into the Prius and was really disapointed to find heated seats was not an option. If you wouldn’t mind, could you e-mail me to let me know around how much this addition set you back?
Thanks!
