Add genuine Land Rover heated front seats to your vehicle. LR-Retrofit installs the heating elements, routes the wiring and programmes the climate control module for full Touchscreen or switch operation.
What are Heated Front Seats?
Heated front seats warm the seat cushion and backrest through integrated heating elements. You activate the function from the Touchscreen climate menu or a dedicated switch. The system offers three heat levels and maintains a consistent temperature while you drive. Heated seats make cold morning journeys more comfortable and reduce the need for high cabin heating.
Why Retrofitting Heated Front Seats with LR-Retrofit Makes Sense
- Genuine Land Rover parts: We supply the correct heating elements, wiring terminals and control module updates for your VIN.
- Factory-level programming: Our technicians update the climate control module and Car Configuration File using JLR diagnostic equipment.
- Touchscreen or switch control: The heated seat icons appear in the climate menu exactly as the factory system.
- Manual seat compatible: We fit heating elements to both electric and manual seat bases.
- Validated installation: We test every heat level, temperature sensor and safety cut-off before we return your vehicle.
Compatible Land Rover Models
We retrofit heated front seats to Land Rover models that originally offered the feature. We confirm exact compatibility from your VIN before you book.
- Range Rover L405 (2013 onwards)
- Range Rover Sport L494 (2013 onwards)
- Range Rover Velar L560 (2017 onwards)
- Range Rover Evoque L551 (2019 onwards)

Some vehicles require an additional wiring harness between the seat and the climate control module. We identify this during the free VIN check and include it in your fixed quotation.
How We Complete the Retrofit
- VIN and seat check: You send us your VIN. We verify the seat type, existing upholstery and available wiring.
- Parts preparation: We order the genuine heating elements, temperature sensors and any required harness terminals.
- Seat upholstery removal: Our technicians carefully remove the seat covers and install the heating pads on the cushion and backrest.
- Wiring installation: We route the wiring through the correct factory grommets and connect the seat to the climate control module.
- Programming and validation: We update the climate module, enable the heated seat function and test all heat levels before handover.
