what make year and model is the GP with the heated seat switches on the center console. close to the little cubby thing.
 


97-03... all models had the possibility. But uh..it's a GP, so it's not switches, it's singular. Switch. Because in a GP .. no one is expected to want to ride with you. :th_laugh-lol3:

my 02 gtp had both seats heated, so it had switches (plural), same with my gxp

It had to be customized that way before you bought it. They have multiple write-ups on it, its easy to do ... but factory, only the driver was allowed that option.

On the GXP Im not 100%, but the 02 factory only has 1 switch... you have to install the 2nd yourself.
 
well if the passenger side was installed by the previous owner, then he did a hell of a good job making it look like it came like that from the factory. and i specifically remember both were heated cause we used to play tricks on each other and turn it on when the other person wasn't looking. lame joke i know, but in the summer time it was hilarious.
 


yep your right... my bad i was confused for a second.... i was thinking of my friends regal gs. i do remember people being pissed that their seat wasn't heated when they road in my car


whoops
 
04+ depending on more specific year, usually the GT2 and others had both heated leather seats. Each seat has their own button located on the HVAC. Also has a high/low setting as well.

Shame they don't sell them anymore... GF is always complaining that her seat is cold during winter

If I recall correctly, those kits were pretty damn pricey. I still plan on doing one up myself (I know others have as well) by using their same method of cutting 2 heated seat switch trims in half, and fusing both the halves with the buttons together. I will snag the heat pads out of a GP in the yards, as they are a dime a dozen here.
 
i jus wanted a platform to mount a different switch such as interior lights. not the actuall heated seats.
 


Regal had the dual heated seat or no heated seats. Very common option.

TL.. send me two switch panels and I can make you a dual. It's pretty easy.

I've done this before and it is not hard. Just takes some time to get it to fit correctly. I measured and cut and then sanded both sides until it was the right measurement. And it fit in perfectly.
 
Right.. it's not too tough overall. Heck.. the way i'd do it would be to nab that section of a console out of a jy car.

Cut the two pieces, sit them in place and tape one side to hold. Then JB weld or plastic weld them together. Sand the top lightly to make it nice and smooth. Then use SEM texture paint, knock a little of that down and then SEM graphite paint it to match the interior color. Presto..

Here's a teaser from Bonneville days

My 2001 GTP has the driver side seat heated, best option I have ever bought on a car, during the Chicago winter's it is awesome, keeps my buns toasty, especially on my leather seats. :D
 
I've successfully (nearly) completed this project with Bill's help from multiple PMs and posts on the forum so all could read the tips. Mine looks about as factory as possible, down to the factory wire connectors for easy and quick seat removal. I'm down to needing a couple finishing touches on my switch bezel and it will be totally done. If any photos are needed, I probably have them and can give detailed input, as this is still VERY fresh in my mind. Bill helped me, and I'm more than willing to pass on the information, as well to the benefit of all.
 
Here is my homemade seat switch. Nothing professional. But I thought it looked fine. I'm sure Bill would do a better job:
