I looked into it years ago when I had a Bora- it's more tricky than you'd think!

You can get the heated seats to work without having climatronic, but the loom wont be there whatever you have.

Iv got climatic in my car and i retro fitted the heated seats.

You just need a wiring loom from kufactec, new climatic/ climatronic panel with heated seat rollers and a spare half a day to fit it all!!

Oh and fitting climatronic to a car with climatic is possible but not recommended!!

It's a pretty massive job and not one for the faint hearted. The whole heating/climate system needs replacing and it's far from cheap. My advice would be either live with what you have or be prepared to shell out hundreds to replace it  :happy2:
