This article covers how to enable the heating and cooling functions of seats removed from a Nissan 370z. This kit is designed to make it possible to operate the seats with a simple 12 volt connection. Other kits bypass safety sensors or just hook up a fan - this kit unlocks the full capability of the thermoelectric seat cooling system. Learn more about the differences between ventilation and cooling by reading our article, How do Cooled Seats Work?

- 12 Volt Power & Ground
Making Connections
This kit connects directly to the TED units within the seats for maximum control. You'll need to gain access to the plugs that connect the seat cooling units to the original seat. Make two connections to your existing units, plug in our switch, give it 12 volts, and you're done!
Leanback Connector
The first connector to be addressed is the one in the leanback. For the 370Z you'll want to remove the seat kick panel on the rear. Once the kick panel is removed simply disconnect the factory TED unit and make the new connection to the leanback connector on the kit. Route the wire similarly to the OEM wire.
Cushion Connector
To access the cushion TED connector you'll want to unbolt your seat to see underneath. The plug for the TED will be immediately next to the unit, look for two white plugs. Push the tab on the plug to disconnect it. Simply connect the OEM connector to our cushion connector and the hard part is done!
Seat Heating & Cooling Computer
The included computer uses the same mounting pattern as the factory Nissan computer. Disconnect and remove the factory unit and mount the replacement in it's place using the original 2 phillips head screws.
Finalizing The Installation
Plug in your switch and connect the included power connector to power and ground. The heating & cooling of your seats is now fully functional. Use zip ties and common sense to route your wires accordingly. The switch also includes a length of wire to allow for a flexible installation. We recommend installing in the factory location, some light modification is required to get it to sit flush.
