OEM-grade rear heated seats retrofit for Land Rover and Jaguar. Add factory-style heating elements and control switches with plug-and-play installation.
Product Overview
LR Retrofit supplies a complete rear heated seats retrofit for Land Rover and Jaguar vehicles. This upgrade adds genuine heating elements to the rear bench and backrests. You control the temperature through factory-style switches mounted in the rear centre console or door panels. The system warms quickly and delivers consistent comfort for rear passengers in cold weather.
We use OEM-grade carbon fibre heating pads that fit precisely under the original seat covers. The wiring integrates with the vehicle’s existing climate control network. No aftermarket controllers remain visible. The result is a factory appearance and function that matches the front heated seats.
Key Features
- OEM-grade carbon fibre heating elements for rear bench and backrest
- Two-stage temperature control (low and high)
- Factory-style switches integrated into rear trim panels
- Automatic thermal cut-off for safety
- Plug-and-play wiring with vehicle-specific connectors
- Compatible with factory climate control menu where supported
- No permanent modifications to seat structure or covers
- Heats quickly within two minutes
The heating elements distribute warmth evenly across the seat surface. You activate the system with a simple press of the rear switch. The system maintains a comfortable temperature without overheating.
Performance Benefits
Rear heated seats transform cold-weather comfort for passengers. You notice warmth within minutes of activation. The two-stage control lets rear occupants choose their preferred heat level. The system reduces reliance on cabin heating, which saves fuel and lowers cabin noise. Your passengers arrive relaxed and comfortable on long journeys.

Vehicles must have the factory rear bench with removable covers. LR Retrofit confirms exact compatibility from your VIN before dispatch. Models with rear climate control panels may require additional switch integration, which we include in the kit.
Installation and Coding Support
We recommend professional installation. LR Retrofit supplies the complete hardware kit with heating pads, wiring looms, switches, and mounting hardware. Our technical team provides remote coding support through JLR diagnostic tools. You update the Car Configuration File to activate the rear heated seat function. This enables the touchscreen climate menu where available.
The installation follows the factory method. You remove the seat covers and place the heating pads onto the foam. The wiring routes along the original harness paths under the carpet. The switches mount into the rear door panels or centre console. All connectors use factory pin-outs.
Technical Note
The rear heated seat system uses a dedicated control module that reads the switch inputs. The module drives the heating elements through solid-state relays. The thermal cut-off protects against overheating. LR Retrofit supplies the correct control module parameters for your JLR model. The system operates independently of the front seat heaters.
