[Vwdiesel] Current for Heated Seat?

[lbaird119 at aol.com]

Great thread!  Got me digging around the web and I found some heated seat kits for <$60 for BOTH seats!  :-)  I may just have to do that on a car or two.  Might even do one on Dad's tractor seat for snow plowing!

Dunno about 1, but pretty sure the answer to 2 is variable current.
Actually, for #1, per this
hread<http://forums.tdiclub.com/showthread.php?t=7269&page=3> some
andom guy measured his seat at 5A.  I assume that's at full power.
However.. IIRC leather vs cloth is different (leather has less power).

 As the heat is turned up, does it vary the duty cycle, or does it vary the
 current?

 Thanks.  The car is not here to measure it on, and if it were, I am too
 lazy
 to run out and test everything (actually warming up from the last job).
