Hi all,
I have the heated seat but I've not installed it on my 2020 RS. A bit afeared of running foul of the canbus. Any overall advice? I did read of someone tapping into the GPS loom. Would love it if someone had some detail, to include photos.
Thanks in advance!

Overall advice - Use a Healtech Thunderbox. Connect it to your battery and then all accessories to it. Works great on my Tiger.

My Sargent seat is also heated and I haven't installed the heater function yet. Partly because I wasn't sure about wiring it in and partly because I rarely ride in temps where I need a heated seat.

Here in Houston I use my heated seat more than I use the heated grips, it’s that nice. Of course I’m referring to the Tiger.

The Fuzeblocks FZ-1 is a good alternative. That's what I have on my RT.
