Sargent heated seat installation advice?
#1
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.
Happiness comes not from what you have, but from enjoying all that you do have no matter how much or little that may be.
Be stubborn with your dream but flexible with your path

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.

Thanks.

This article talks about using the HEX exCAN (which I do have), but it also says that the installation instructions for the seats don't support that. Any cons to tapping into a turn signal vis-a-vis canbus? I hate to lose my rear taillights for the seat, but I'm also not wild about major wiring issues.
