Is the 2019RTL pre-wired for heated seat option?

[Upcoaster]

Hello Spyderlovers!

I know there are some aftermarket options for heated seats but I'm specifically interested in whether BRP offers a heated seat up grade for my 2019RTL.

If they do, I'm betting they've also pre-wired for it to some degree and that there is a pigtail of some sort in the vicinity of the seat?? Hoping someone to could direct me where I can find that.

In truth, I'm not actually installing a seat. I actually just ordered a heated jacket and gloves and I'm hoping to not have to fish a dedicated wire all the way up to the battery/frunk area if I can help it to run the apparel. If there's a "cheat" already in place that requires less Tupperware coming off etc, I'm all for it.

Thanks in advance,
David

The 19 RTL that I had came with heated seats and handle grips standard. I would be careful splicing into the wiring on these machines. They are CAN bus circuitry and are not tolerant of adding loads. Safer to wire your heated gear separately from the battery through a fused terminal block and separate switch.

Point taken but I figure if the factory has something in place thats suited for the seat, there shouldn't be any issues with my intended purpose. (e.g. Right gauge of wire, proper fuse, etc.)

Hoping someone out there has actually done a seat install and can point me to where to look to find the factory connector thats already in place.

Thanks to all!

Contact your dealer with your vin, they can pull up the wiring schematic for your specific vin and tell you everything you want to know, that is if your dealer is a good dealer and not a bunch of A holes like some dealers are.

Look at the Can Am Instructions site for the Heated Comfort Seat for your year. It will show you a diagram of the wiring involved.

It really is better to wire heated gear to the battery and not connect to existing wires as it can cause problems with the system. Heated gear come ready to attach to the battery because it’s the best way. Plus some heated gear come with an on/off switch and Gerbing has a heat controller to fine tune just how warm or hot you want. With just a switch you will have to turn it on then when it gets really hot turn it off then when it cools turn it on then off then on etc. all while riding.
