So i've seen numerous sales of vehicles and parts advertising "two tone heated SVT seats. I thought only the EAPs' with Recaros had heated seats. How do I know if my car was suppossed to have heated seats? I'm asking this because I've always assumed that my car was in some sort of accident or theft and it was never reported to the DMV. So the seats or interior could have been switched. So how would I find the true identity of my seats?????.... thanks by the way!

Heated seats, traction control, HIDs, and the Radio w/ sub set up were all availble up grades to non EAP SVTs... so if you had heated seats your center consel down my your ****er would have a hole where the switches are missing.

I have the recaros now, but my original seats were the blue-insert seats. They came heated as part of the "cold weather package" on my car. This also included heated mirrors and a block heater.

I don't know if the heated seats could be ordered outside of this package or not. If you have a block heater (electric plug hanging around the driver's side of your engine (between the battery compartment and the header) then you should for sure have heated seats.

The heated seat buttons are on the center console to the left and right of the e-brake. If someone swapped/stole your seats, they would have had to replace the entire center console to get rid of those buttons/ports.

The winter package included the block heater, heated seats and traction control. I have never seen an SVTf with only one or two of those options unless the owner installed it... but none of them are easy to install on their own. The block heater installs into a freeze plug and the traction control requires a different ECU, I believe.

But to clarify, yes, all SVTs come with heated sideview mirrors.

HIDs were NOT available in 2002. It is also possible to switch the shifter bezel with one that doesn't have the switch cutouts for the heated seats and traction control. The only way to be sure if your car came with those options is to pull off the shifter bezel and see if the 3 switch connectors are there. I doubt anyone would go through the trouble of that, though.

To further clarify the options, this is the rundown:

2002 SVTf options
-3-door only
-color options: Infra Red w/red insert, Sonic Blue w/blue inserts, CD Silver w/red or blue inserts, Pitch Black w/red or blue inserts
-Audiophile (6-disc changer, sub w/amp, uprated front speakers)
-Moonroof
-Winter Package (traction control, engine block heater, heated front seats)

2003 SVTf options
-3-door or 5-door
-color options: Vermilion Red (same as Infra Red) w/red insert, Sonic Blue w/blue inserts (not available on 5-door), CD Silver w/red or blue inserts, Pitch Black w/red or blue inserts
-Audiophile (6-disc changer, sub w/amp, uprated front speakers, uprated rear speakers on 5-door)
-Moonroof
-Winter Package (traction control, engine block heater, heated front seats)
-HID headlamps
-European Appearance Package (ALL above options, Recaro front seats, perforated black leather inserts, dark argent 15-spoke wheels, additional exterior color options: Screaming Yellow, Competition Orange) (not available on 5-door) (not available in Sonic Blue)

2004 SVTf options
-3-door or 5-door
-color options: Infra Red w/red insert, Sonic Blue w/blue inserts, CD Silver w/red or blue inserts, Pitch Black w/red or blue inserts

All options that were not available for the 5-door in 2003 were made available in 2004.
