Default Couple of stupid questions about s2k's

I say I cant answer them myself, because well, I dont own one yet!

However, since this car will be a daily driver of mine, and with winter quickly approaching, I was just wondering if the S2000 has heated seats? I've had a car before with leather interior, and I know how cold that can get during the middle of winter. But, I hadnt heard anyone talk of heated seats on theres...If the cars dont come equipped with them, anyone have any kits or has anyone made their own via heated seating pads from other cars?

Also, and this one isnt a big deal, but, my dad used to have a Lexus GS300 before he sold it to get a new Trailblazer (gotta pull the runabout somehow!) and on it, if you held down the unlock key on the keyfob for about 5 seconds, the windows would automatically roll down. Now, what I'm wondering, is, has anyone fashioned a way to wire things so that if you did that with your S2000 keyfob, that after holding unlock down for a certain amount of time, the top would automatically retract? Say, if its outside, and you want it to cool down some without having to go out there and do it on your own? Of course, this would be more of a novelty than anything really needed.

But, I guess the latches would sort of inhibit you from being able to do this? Could you fashion a latch that's self latching, and self releasing?


Just some questions I thought up earlier today Thought I'd see what kind of comments I could get

Car does not come from the factory with heated seats but I've seen posts that people have added heating elements to the seats. Us the search at the bottom of the page.

No, the windows do not go down remotely from the key fob. Haven't seen anyone do this mod without having an aftermarket alarm system. The top has a mechanical latch so in order for that to be remote you'd have to somehow replace the mechanical latch with a solenoid or something.

I've only heard that the Mercedes SLK can put the top down remotely with the key fob since the latching system is automatic.

Maybe you should get a SLK350

The S does not have heated seats.

You need to latch and un-latch the top by hand.

The SLK350 is a no-touch latch, and you can get it programed to lower the top with the remote.

<EDIT: S2K dude, you beat me to it >

lol, neither of these will keep me from getting the car However, I do think they would be some cool/usefull mods to be able to do, were it an easy and feasible thing to do.
