Has anyone tried any of these? I live in NC but temps are dropping and the the convertible a warm **** will allow me to keep the top down more often. I'd love any feedback from anyone who has installed any heated seat kits on their 2005-2006 stangers.

You can always go start your car and turn the heater on before you get in it. I had two of those little key remotes to open the doors during the winter (not with this car obviously) when I was stationed in Colorado. I would start the car, remote lock the doors, and go back inside for a couple minutes while the heat was on inside. Maybe not the best idea.....but it worked for me for the 3 winters I endured over there.

I've never seen a car in California with heated seats included with the options
I got one! and I think there great...I don't use them because the seats are cold, but they work great on my sore lower back...

Careful Grabber... you might be showing your age... the rumble from your car should also help with the lower back.

Sorry for being such an ignorant but I live in Arizona where we wear our muscle shirts even in December. Why do you guys stop riding you Mustangs during the Winter?
rwd with lots of torque doesn't play nice with snow/ice. also, a lot of folks want to keep salt off their cars, so another reason to not drive the mustang in winter. fwiw, i drive a scion xb during the winter
For me it's not the mustang in the snow that's scary, it's the people that drive in the snow like it's a warm dry summer day. Doing 70 and passing people with a couple of inches of snow on the ground, is not too smart. That's how people around here drive LOL. Especially the bonehead SUV drivers.

one example:
Last time it really snowed here a few years ago, there was so much of it, they ploughed one lane to the other, on O'Donnell street, near the area where I live, right where you get on to 95. This created a clear lane, and one filled with snow, averaging about 5 feet in depth, piled really high.

I'm on my way to 95 in this single file lane, in traffic. This fscking idiot in a escalade behind me decides the traffic is moving too slow for his taste, so he's going to 4x4 it in the snow lane and pass us non SUV driving suckers. He's the last in our little line, so he backs up about 40 feet, goes WOT at the snow. He gets about 20 feet into it, I actually thought he might make it for a minute there, goes slower, slower then gets stuck on a peak beside a semi truck trailer, starts redlining his truck thinking that would help and it starts melting under him or something and he slides down the snow embankment and gets stuck against the truck's trailer, between the trailer and the snow embankment, wedging himself in there. I had 2 guys in the car with me and we were all speechless for about 2 minutes while we processed what had just happened. I tried to feel sorry for the guy but I just couldn't. I do wish I'd have had a video enabled phone to catch that. It'd be a youtube favorite.

Nice... totalled the suv because the tow truck had to pull the semi out, sccccrrraping the escalade the whole way. He was really wedged in there. It took an hour for them to clear that guy out because it was still snowing and icy at night, no traction. His car looked like someone with a really big hand crumpled it up and pulled it back out into the vague shape of a suv. Twisted metal, all the glass broken out of it. Brand new Escalade... I wish he would have just given it to me instead of destroying it. Completely borked the trip we were making because by that time the store was closed.

Because of guys like this, my new Mustang will get parked and traded for my old trusty '97 escort when the snow starts falling. For this reason, and salt. I definitely don't want the bottom of my car covered in the stuff.

This is just one of thousands of traffic tales I could tell of abject stupidity. I see a new one almost every time I go out.

Maryland has about the worst drivers I've ever seen, and I've been all over the country. It can be horizontal rain with 25 ft of visibility and half an inch of water on the road, and people will be doing 75mph, yelling at their boyfriend/girlfriend on the cell phone. I don't mean one or two drivers in a trip, I mean just about all of them. I'll be doing 45 because I can't see past my headlights and they'll be flying by me one after the other.

Ditto for fog. I've lived in AZ and travelled to TX, NY, NJ, RI, CT, ME, OK, MI, AL, GA, CA, and many others and I've never seen as many fools on the road, or completely stupid, totally preventable accidents as I do here.

My friends get pissed because if it's raining heavy or really foggy (not that that happens an awful lot) I won't hesitate to not go out and cancel plans. If I'm not commuting to work, I don't drive in bad weather here anymore. It's too damn dangerous here. I know I sound like an old man but I'm only in my late 30's LOL.
