Default Install rear heated seats?

hello,
I would like to know if anyone has installed rear heated seats?...I’m considering having mine installed professionally. How did the final install look? Was it installed for seat and lower back? Do they work well? Where are the control buttons?
Thanks,
St.Clair

If your in the back seat, pull down the center console, this would have the heated/cooled seat controls(depending on the model)

Correct me if I am wrong but, don't all 460's come with a minimum of heated seats for the front and back ? Even on the base model ?

Shockingly expensive I would think. Plus the wiring may not be there for the power, rear seat heaters have a center console on off in between the drivers and passenger seats.

Unfortunately, that is not the case. Year 2016 models were not standardised with this option, despite the weather package ��

What an odd exclusion with that model year. So what does the center arm rest look like now? Just cup holders and blank wood insert. I thought there is still a lift up lid that conceals the heated seat controls, a la LS 430.

On my 2014 FSport the dear heated seats and radio controls was not an option. There were just none available. I also have the cold weather package.

Very unfortunate, but it was included in the 2017 weather package.

Rear seat heaters are included with 2013+ AWD.

But not the 2013+ RWD. You could have aftermarket heaters put in. The seat base and back heating pads aren't that expensive but the labor to remove the seats, take the leather seatcovers off, install the heating pads, wire them, reinstall the seatcovers and seats would be quite high. I don't think you'll get away with under $600.

I'll just add in, on my '13 LS460 AWD (non f-sport) I have heated rear seats.
