Product Overview
Our rear heated seats retrofit brings genuine JLR rear seat heating to your existing interior. We use original equipment heating elements, climate control panels, and factory wiring looms. The result matches a vehicle built with rear heated seats from the factory.
You control the rear seat heating through the existing rear climate panel or the front touchscreen depending on your model. Rear passengers adjust their own temperature levels independently. No aftermarket switches or visible modifications appear anywhere in the cabin.
What the Retrofit Includes
- Genuine JLR heating elements for rear seat cushions and backrests
- Rear climate control panel with heated seat buttons where required
- Factory specification wiring harnesses and connectors
- Body control module configuration update
- Vehicle configuration file update
- Full functional testing and temperature verification
How the Rear Heated Seats System Works
The rear heated seats use carbon fibre heating elements fitted beneath the original seat covers. When a passenger selects a heat level, the climate control module sends power to the heating elements. The seats warm quickly and evenly across the cushion and backrest.
Each rear seat operates independently, allowing passengers to choose their preferred heat setting. The system includes multiple intensity levels and automatic temperature regulation to prevent overheating. The vehicle network recognises the retrofit as original equipment and reports no diagnostic faults.
JLR Platform Compatibility
We supply rear heated seat retrofits for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque, Discovery, Discovery Sport, Jaguar F-Pace, XF, XE and I-Pace. Most vehicles from 2014 onward with compatible seat frames and climate modules qualify. Our team confirms your VIN and current seat specification before you order.
Installation and Programming
LR-Retrofit technicians complete the installation at our workshop. We remove the rear seat covers, fit the heating elements, and route the wiring through the original seat and floor conduits. We then install the climate panel where required and update the body control module using JLR diagnostic equipment. After programming, we run full heat cycle tests to verify even warmth and correct control operation.
