1. Avoid leather
Good validation of one of Sir Jim's guiding principles for the design brief: the vehicle had to be warm, dry and comfortable when the driver might be cold, wet and needing shelter (well that was a broad interpretation of what I took to be his intent when he was wet, cold and up to his ankles in mud and cow dung at night tending his herd!):
Too late.
We might cross on the ferry! Planning to go mainland with our van in '25.
Invitation accepted.
I don't recall which member, but someone took his seat apart to install a lumbar pillow - perhaps he can chime in on the seats internals.
I don't know if the inside of the seats is prewired, what I know (from my early visits to the dealer before delivery) is that the connectors are present under the seats (see picture below), but I didn't analyse further, it is still on my " to do" list.
, but I didn't dare to dismount that panel yet (I tried, but was afraid to break it)..
The yellow connectors are (usually) airbag only; unless they are using those extra pins on the end (the white and blue-ish connectors inside the housing) for heat controls
Hmmm ... are you sure? Airbags under or in the seats? I really think it is for the heating system.
There are airbags in the from seats AFAIK that deploy from the outer side.
OK, I went to my car and checked. Every place where there are airbags have the airbag symbol. Nothing in the front seats.
Hi Jean, I think you are to Grenadier what SImon is to Land Rover. That's a compliment.
Butt and back
I've got the cloth seats and confirm what Anand put - butt and back. They heat up fast and hot, then kind of taper off (or my butt and back get used to the temp). But pretty effective.
