Factory-Grade Rear Seat Heating for Your Land Rover
Your Land Rover or Range Rover already delivers exceptional front-seat comfort. Now your rear passengers can enjoy that same level of luxury warmth. At LR-Retrofit, we specialise in retrofitting genuine rear heated seats that match the factory specification in every detail — from the heating elements to the CAN bus programming.
We source every component directly from the Jaguar Land Rover parts catalogue. We install the heating elements inside the rear seat cushions and backrests. We then program the Climate Control Module to activate the rear seat heating through the existing touchscreen or rear climate panel. The result is a seamless, factory-identical upgrade that transforms cold winter journeys into warm, comfortable travel.
Whether you own a Range Rover L405, a Range Rover Sport L494, a Discovery 5, or a Velar, our certified technicians complete the retrofit to the same standard you expect from a Land Rover dealership — at a significantly more competitive price.
What the Rear Heated Seats Retrofit Includes
Every rear heated seats retrofit from LR-Retrofit includes the complete package of genuine components and expert installation. We do not cut corners, and we do not use aftermarket parts.
- Genuine JLR heating elements for both rear seat cushions and backrests — sourced directly from the manufacturer’s parts catalogue for your specific model and trim level.
- Factory switch pack or touchscreen integration, depending on your vehicle’s existing climate control configuration. Vehicles with rear climate panels receive the illuminated heated seat switches in the rear console.
- Complete wiring loom manufactured to JLR specification, routed and secured to the factory standard with correct connectors and fixings.
- Climate Control Module (CCM) programming — our technicians update the vehicle configuration file using JLR-approved diagnostic tools, enabling the rear heated seat function on the CAN bus.
- Full system testing — we verify every heating level, switch illumination, and fault code status before we hand the vehicle back to you.

Why Retrofitting Rear Heated Seats Makes Sense
You already appreciate the luxury of heated front seats on cold mornings. Extending that comfort to the rear cabin adds genuine value and daily usability to your Land Rover. Here is what you gain:
- Year-round passenger comfort — rear occupants feel the warmth within minutes, even on the coldest days.
- Factory appearance — no aftermarket switches or visible wiring. The controls appear exactly where Land Rover intended them.
- Increased resale value — a factory-spec heated rear seat option strengthens your vehicle’s specification list when you sell or trade in.
- Complete dealer-level integration — the system works through the existing touchscreen, rear climate panel, and vehicle diagnostics.
- No compromise on safety — genuine JLR heating elements include over-temperature protection and fault monitoring via the CCM.
