Composition of a seat heating kit and how to install heaters on Granta with your own hands
Preparation for installation of heating elements
Before connecting the heated seats on the Grant, you need to secure the heaters under the upholstery of the seats. Of course, it is more convenient to do this on dismantled “seats”, previously disassembled into two parts: the back and the support. Creating acceptable conditions for installing heating elements is the goal of the preparatory stage. By the way, when determining the reasons for the knocking of hydraulic compensators, there is a slightly different logic.
Preliminary activities are carried out according to the following scenario:
- Disconnect the power supply to the seat belt sensor located under the seat. In many trim levels, this option is available only to the driver.
- Using an E10 head mounted on the knob, unscrew the four bolts connecting the base of the seat frame to the body and remove the seat. For ease of access to fastening elements, move the seat to the farthest or closest position. Similarly, remove and pull out the second front “seat” from the passenger compartment.
- Remove the backrest angle adjustment knob by prying it off with two flat-head screwdrivers.
- At the junction of the backrest and seat, remove the plastic covers on the left and right sides by unscrewing one screw each.
- Unscrew 2 bolts on each side securing the backrest frame to the metal base.
- Detach the backrest from the seat.
- Repeat steps 3-6 for the second chair.
Factory covers are attached to the frame with four clips. On the reverse side, the fixing elements are clamped with wires. Having untwisted the latter, we tighten the fabric. Before removing the backrest cover, disconnect the plastic lock at the bottom of the structure. When assembling, it is advisable to replace the wire with plastic clamps.
Installation of heaters
The purpose of preliminary positioning is to achieve such an arrangement of the heaters that the wires exit into the joint of the backrest and seat. You won't be able to play with the longitudinal base - the standard kit is designed strictly according to the dimensions of the depressions. After removing the protective tape, glue the element to the frame. If necessary, the foam is trimmed to allow the wire to exit unnoticed.
Installation of heating elements for heated seats
First, let's look at the mechanical part, that is, what needs to be done to install heating elements in the seats of the car, and then we'll look at the electrical connection of the heated seats. First you need to remove the seats. Everything is simple here. Just before unscrewing the driver's seat, look under it and pull out the seat belt indicator connector. To do this, press the connector latch and pull it towards you.
The seats are attached to the body with four bolts. The head of the bolts on Grant is a so-called “euro” head (E10). If you have a different one, take the corresponding key. Unscrew these bolts and remove the seats.
For convenience, we bring the removed seats home and start working with them at home. We disassemble the seats. We need to remove the backrest. To do this, turn the chair on its side. Take two flat screwdrivers. We insert them on both sides under the backrest angle adjustment knob and remove it by prying it up.
After that, using a flat screwdriver, we separate the two halves of the plastic caps. We do this very carefully, as you can accidentally break the guides.
Unscrew the screw holding the decorative trim. Let's take it off.
Take a 13 mm wrench. and unscrew the two M8 mm bolts securing the seat back to the base.
After this, we carry out similar work on the opposite side. Then we separate the halves of the chairs. Now you need to remove the factory seat covers. Let's start with the lower frame of the chair. We turn it upside down. The cover is attached to the frame with factory fasteners made of rigid wire.
They are easily released with pliers. To unclamp, you need to pinch the edge of the wire with pliers and twist it in a circular motion. The photo shows the places where you need to disconnect these same clamps.
After all the latches marked in the photo are released, we move the cover to the side and see the foam casting.
Now you need to release the seat back cover. There is a plastic lock at the bottom of the backrest. We disconnect it along the perimeter and lift up part of the cover. Turn the back over to the back side up. Under the cover you will see the same latches. It is necessary to remove four pieces, as in the photo.
Power supply or how to connect the heated front seats on the Lada Granta correctly
The cost of installation work at an unofficial service station is at least 2,500 rubles. For this money, already purchased heating elements will be installed in the car seat and the circuit will be connected according to the manual. All that remains is to make an anti-freeze product according to a home recipe and hit the road. This is for the quick ones. Painful owners will probably not like the electrical part of the integration.
Disadvantages of the standard kit
The instructions indicate how to install heated seats on the Grant and connect it to the on-board network. According to what is written, the electrics connect and function like this:
- The permanent plus is taken from the hazard warning button.
- The ground is connected to the bracket for fastening the standard wires of the negative pole.
- The standard fuse is replaced with a more powerful one.
- The heating is turned on/off using the buttons directly.
Only one function is correctly implemented - turning off the heating when the ignition is turned off. Otherwise, the connection scheme is not entirely successful:
- The positive wire that goes to the emergency light is thin and will probably work at the limit.
- The contact group of buttons operates in a dangerous mode, since it is not intended for power loads.
For your information. The kit offers simplified buttons for installation - they do not have a power indicator in the form of a yellow lamp (as on the rear window heating control).
Competent connection diagram
An unfortunate result of the standard connection algorithm is a melted fuse. Such a reaction indicates that the circuit is operating at its limit. An alternative scheme for connecting heated seats will help to avoid this. It involves the use of two four-pin relays and powering them from switch K4, which supplies the output “+” after turning on the ignition.
Additional items
It is advisable to carry out installation work after purchasing an additional mounting block of reduced size. You will also need regular contacts for connecting two relays and two Lyra contact elements linking a 10A fuse. We also add additional wires with a cross-section of 4 and 1.5 mm2 to the shopping list.
Search "+"
So, in order to connect the heated front seats on the Grant, you need to find out the number of the output plus of relay K4, which appears after turning on the ignition. This can be either the 87th or the 30th contact.
Usually this is contact element No. 30, but it doesn’t hurt to make sure once again. We remove the relay and diagnose. The test is carried out by connecting a 12V lamp to the 30th contact of the mounting block and ground. After activating the ignition, the lamp should light up.
Connecting elements
It is convenient to disassemble the connection map of the key components of the circuit in the figure. The sequence of actions when assembling the chain is as follows:
- Pull out the “+” terminal, found during the K4 relay test, and connect two wires to it: one (4 mm2) - to the fuse and then to the 87th contact, the second - the control plus from the heating button (pin No. 1). Make a jumper and integrate it back.
- On the “+” route to the seat heating relay, install a 10A fuse by integrating the “Lira” contacts.
- At the second end of the received “+”, make branches for the second switch and control button, connect them to the 87th and 1st contacts.
- Make two ground wires with jumpers that will be attached to the 85th, A and C terminals.
- Route the control wiring and the backlight wire from the buttons to the mounting block. Connect 2nd contacts to 86th; B – with fuse fastening element F9 or F10.
- Connect your “+” heating elements to the 30th contacts of each relay.
It is convenient to make jumpers or branches using male-female contact pairs. It is better to avoid “twists” by connecting the wires directly in the block and making bends.
Seat heating kit (factory) 2 seats for VAZ Granta
Dear customers, in order to avoid errors when sending the electric seat heating kit 2190-6513010 with wires and buttons to the VAZ 2190/91, in the “Comment” line indicate your car model, equipment, year of manufacture.
When you have to get behind the wheel of a Lada Grant in severe cold, and feel the cold seat on your back and the fact that it’s lower, you involuntarily have to think about the fact that it wouldn’t hurt to have heated seats in the car. The fact is that the standard heated seats on the VAZ 2190/91 are found only in the luxury version of the last years of production, and in all other cars of this series heating is not provided. However, you shouldn’t despair, because anyone can do independent repairs and connect heating.
Most modern cars are equipped with many systems that provide comfort to the driver and passenger, one of which is heated seats. It is controlled using a block, looks attractive, modern, not only fits beautifully into the interior, but is also very easy to use.
Despite the fact that seat heating is a relatively new option on the bells and whistles market, this did not stop it from gaining global recognition among all motorists in the world in such a short period of time. Thanks to heated seats, the car driver can get rid of the unpleasant sensations that accompany him every time he gets into a “cold” car.
Manufacturers of heated seats have begun to produce seat heating kits for motorists who do not have this option included, which allows them to install it themselves, thereby saving their “fifth point” from unpleasant sensations.
A built-in (factory) assembled seat heating kit (for 2 seats) is installed on cars for the Lada Granta (2190-91) by default.
The product is created according to the formula “the length of the heating filament - the resistance of the material - the voltage of the on-board network.”
This means that a heating filament of this length (at a voltage of 12.5-13.5 Volts) cannot heat up more than 53°C.
The fabric base of the heating is made of non-flammable material, the heating nichrome thread is in fluoroplastic, which together completely eliminates the possibility of the product catching fire.
Equipment:
— Heating element (voltage 13.5 V; power 55 W) — 4 pcs.
— Heating buttons — 2 pcs.
— Mounting kit for connection — 1 pc.
— Installation diagram — 1 pc.
— The product is certified.

Instructions for installing heated seats on a grant.
For installation, we purchase heated seats from Viburnum or grants. For ease of operation and reliable fastening of the heating elements, we recommend removing the seats from the car, although it is possible to install heating on the seats without removing the seats themselves.

We use and enjoy the warm seat in the winter season!
In the first part
In this article, I described the introduction of a set of heating elements from the Alamara into the Granta seats. In the second part I will try to describe how we can connect them to the car’s on-board network. Let's figure out the connection together. Many connect heating through one or two relays. I had a small diagram included with the wiring harness for connecting the heating. There were no relays marked on it, just as there were no relays in the wiring itself. And the power was taken from the alarm connector. It was also indicated there that it is necessary to replace the original 5 A fuse of this circuit with a more powerful one - 10 A. Let's check if such a connection is safe: After installing the heaters in the chairs, I connected them to a powerful 12 V power supply to check their functionality . At the same time, I decided to understand the connection in more detail and make sure that this circuit is reliable and correct. I connected an ammeter to the circuit and measured the amperage under load. You can see the results in the photo:
Installation of heated seats using the example of Lada Granta
With the arrival of winter and, accordingly, the time of year, when our bottom begins to freeze in an unheated car, various interesting thoughts begin to come into our heads. Like the one that it would be nice to come up with something that would warm us up even before the stove warmed the interior. Here we are primarily talking about alternative heating devices. Whether it's a heated steering wheel or heated seats. Many cars have these options as standard, but if they don’t, you can make them yourself. This is exactly what our article will be about, how to make heated seats with your own hands. An example will be given for the Lada Granta.
What is needed for this?
The first thing you need to figure out is what elements, materials and tools will be useful to you during the heating installation process.
. and bring out the white connector for connecting to power | |
Unclip the gearshift lever cover | |
The wiring from the left and right seats is carried out through the central tunnel in the area of the gearshift lever | |
Don't forget to install the fuse, included in the kit (all electrical connections are made according to the instructions included in the kit) | |
We install the buttons for turning on the heated seats in the area of the cup holders | |
This is what the buttons for turning on the heated seats look like with the backlight on. | |
Element | Explanation |
Heating elements | They are required for backs and seats. Experts recommend choosing the standard ones provided for the VAZ 2110. They are sold in sets for two seats. Their cost ranges from 1000 to 1400 rubles. The kit also includes wiring and buttons to turn the heating on and off. |
Buttons | They are not always included. They are used to turn the seat heating system on and off. |
Wiring | It serves to connect the heating to the vehicle’s on-board network |
Foam rubber | If the seats are already quite worn, it would not hurt to replace the foam rubber, which is short-lived |
Choose only high-quality materials, purchase kits from trusted retail outlets. Heating is carried out by electricity, which is always dangerous to human life and health.
Heated front seats grant
Hello my dear subscribers and guests who visited my page! Today I want to share with you how you can install heated seats on a Lada Granta with your own hands. In the first part I will describe how to implement the heating pads themselves directly into the seats. I just finished installing a heater on my machine. I ordered the heating pads from Alamara, so I will basically describe the installation of this particular kit. The website says that this is supposedly factory heating from Granta. In fact, this is a standard heater from a VAZ-2115 (Identified by serial number). It doesn’t quite fit our Granta, but I’ll tell you in detail how exactly this kit can be adjusted to our car.
This means that we need to install heated seats: 1. A key or a socket with an E10 knob. (as in the photo) 2. Double-sided fabric tape. Buy in advance so you don't have to go shopping later. 3. Plastic ties (clamps) with a length of at least 250 mm.
4. Insulating tape (electrical tape). 5. Wiring kit for connecting heating (I had one with heating pads) 6. A Phillips screwdriver and two flathead ones. 7. A key or socket with a 13 mm wrench.
Well, if everything is prepared, you can start.
1. First of all, you need to remove the front seats. Everything is simple here. Just before unscrewing the driver's seat, look under it and pull out the seat belt indicator connector. To do this, press the connector latch and pull it towards you.
The seats are attached to the body with four bolts. The head of the bolts is a so-called “euro” head (E10). Unscrew these bolts and remove the seats. For convenience, we bring them home and start working with them.
Dismantling works
To install heating elements, you first need to carry out a dismantling procedure. It includes the following activities.
- Unscrew the plastic fasteners that connect the seats to the body of your car.
- Remove the skids. Two pieces are located in front, and two more are located in the back.
- Remove the chairs from the interior, otherwise it will be extremely uncomfortable to work.
- Separate the back from the chair. To do this, there are bolts on the sides, which can be removed with a 10 mm wrench.
- On the back there is a plug for the headrests, which can be removed.
- The upholstery is removed from the hooks below. To do this, the hooks are slightly unbent.
- Now you can completely remove all the trim.
- Carry out a similar procedure with the second seat if you plan to install heating on it too.
While you are installing the heating, throw the upholstery into the washing machine. This will not harm her, and the interior will look newer and nicer.
Installation of heating elements
Many people forget about the need to securely fix the elements responsible for heating the seats. As a result, over time they can shift, thereby disrupting the performance of the system.
To avoid such situations, experts advise sewing heating elements directly to the inside of the upholstery. Although today some car owners prefer another option, which uses double-sided tape. The elements are held on it quite reliably, and the tape is attached to the foam rubber itself.
Regardless of the chosen fixation method, reverse assembly looks the same for all options. This is the most difficult stage, so strictly adhere to the specified sequence of operations.
- Pull the covering back onto the back, where the heating was already fixed.
- Using a mallet, the plugs are driven into place. We are talking about plugs for headrests.
- Next, the fabric is stretched. The front one is pushed through the hole, and the back one is straightened down.
- The fabric from the front is draped over the hooks and then stretched. Just watch the degree of tension so that the fabric does not tear.
- Now you can put the rear trim element on the hooks.
- The next step is to insert the wire into the front and tension the sheathing.
- If you plan to change the foam rubber, cut out the new elements in strict accordance with the dimensions of the old material.
- Pay attention to the areas where the spring contacts the body and seat ties. To avoid squeaks, use pieces from the washer tube, or simply wrap several layers of electrical tape.
- Heating for the lower part of a car seat is often mounted using double-sided tape or sewn to the trim on the inside. You can use plastic clamps or wire brackets, which will prevent the heating elements from moving from their installation locations. After this, the plastic fasteners are tightened.
- Connect the backrest and seat.
- A wire is pulled through the hole in the frame and the foam rubber, with which the heating will be connected to the on-board network.
- The wiring connection is carried out strictly according to the diagram. It is necessarily included with the set of heating elements, so you don’t have to look for anything additional.
- The standard location for installing heating on and off buttons is the area near the handbrake. Although you can place them as you wish.
- It’s not uncommon for car owners to take an alternative route, installing a standard heating system on top of the seats, after which they put car covers on top.
There is a modern and very simple solution - heated capes that can be put on in winter and removed during warm periods. Their disadvantage is that the wire runs freely, which can interfere with the driver. Plus the capes do not fit tightly to the chairs.
