• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Heated seat?

Is the wiring plug that the optional heated seat plugs into already on the RT or do you have to install it.

Thanks

The 2013 RT comes standard with a heated seat, and it needs no electric connector plug. :sour: They discontinued that feature on the 2014 models.
 
I have a 2013 RT-S and it does not have a heated seat. So I'm going with they don't come standard on the 2013 RT mine does have heated grips which were standard.
 
The harness comes with the seat and plugs into a large black connector below the glove box and in front of the gas tank. You also need to connect the rround wire to the ground bolt in back by the rear trunk.You need to take off all the left side tupperware including the black cover by the left passanger hand grip to install.

GREAT response......took me a second....them ROTFLMAO

i had a 2013 RTS and it definitely had the heated seat. It surely wasn't an option but rather it was standard equipment. I did have the optional after burner but I wouldn't really recommend that option.
 
2013 RS-S has an awesome leg warmer

For Spring/Early Fall we have a leg warmer!

But hey, then comes next Summer, it's then once again, leg of lamb BBQ season... ;-)

Buy a RENS Sheepskin, @ your local IKEA.

My 2013 RT LTD does not have a heated seat. Wish it did.
No you don't. ;). With tongue in cheek, I was alluding to the "natural" heat generated by the 2013 RT.


:welcome:Welcome to the forum. This is a good place to learn a lot about Spyders. As another 2013 RT owner (who really does love this trike), I look forward to your posts. Sorry for the spoof. :sour:

Do all 14's have the connector or is that just for the L? I have my corbin heated seat wired to the rear accessory plug right now but if there is a factory connector I'd rather get the proper connector end for it and plug in there.
