I have. Bought the same set that GM uses on ebay for 99 bucks, with no instructions, but was no biggie and easy to install.
My wife says they feel the same on high as they do on low, but she is used to the feel on Leather seats and this install was in cloth. they work just as good as factory to my try outs

My wife insisted on heated seats in her new car. She bought a Honda CRV and I was able to convince her to save 5 grand on the trim package (incldg leather seats) and just go to the local guy who does accessories in town. He installed heated seats for $350.00 plus tax on her two front cloth covered seats, placing 2 switched with a HI/OFF/LOW switch next to the shifter. They work AWESOME, there is no evidence of any cob job or rigging and the dash switch is small and does not look out of place. Wish I did it on my GMC truck years ago. So we saved $4600 ON THE TRIM LEVEL and I an sure she will not lose out on resale in the end. Those trim levels (special edition) add perhaps $1,000 on resale IF that.
