Factory heated seats / aftermarket options

Does anyone with factory heated seats have a pic of the switch locations in their truck? Are they on the seat side panel or somewhere on the console?

Also, any suggestions on aftermarket heaters. I saw a carbon fiber heater kit, but it said that the heating elements cannot be installed over an Occupant Detection System. Anyone with another type/brand heater kit have issues with the ODS?

On the Lariat, they are in with the electronic temp control switches. They are at both ends of the row of switches at the bottom of the display that have the floor/dash/defrost function switches.

Thanks for the reply CarlJ. Not to get my own thread too far off topic, but what kind of grill is that on your truck.....looks sweet! Bolt-over or replacement?

I just installed a set of Check Corporation seat heaters. Work great, dual temp settings, with 3 yr/36k warranty.

I believe they have a web site, but I think it is for dealers only. I bought them from a local upholstry shop, $250 for each seat, installed.

I have the luxery model. hi/low/off settings

To be honest I can't remember the brand name, I got it off ebay. It's the kind where you have to cut out the plastic center section of your stock grill and bolt the billet piece in behind it. It was quite a bit of work, but if you take your time, it sure does look good!
