I dunno if Im the first but I did it! hehe...pretty kewl I installed some massagers in my SEAT for right now and later will do the passengers...EASY install...took maybe like 30 min. I had been wanting to do this for some time now to just do something different and new and cheap.
This is the massager I used. I had given it as a present to my gf a while back and she never used it so I was like what the heck Ill cut the darn thing open and see if itll work...
I had seen a website back on the day posted about a guy installing headrest monitors and taking off the factory seats I didnt know it was that easy to remove the flaps until I did this...I would have thought they were fully sewn on or something...
These are the 2 massagers that were in the seat cushion/massager I cut open...
I just cut a slit in the thick foam like a lil pocket at a slant so it could slide in
tucked in the massager...
then the second one
I just totally got rid of the remote the seat cushion massager comes with and just snipped the massagers off the lil wiring harness inside the seat cushion/massager. I wired into the 12v and ground wire that was for the heated seats so the heated seat switch controls both the low heat and low motor and high heat and high motor. I will be puttin another switch so that I can turn off the massager when I want and mount it so it looks good but there is some crazy wind and dust blowing right now. I wouldnt even have started this project right now but I was bored and once I started it didnt look like it would take to long. Next will be the passenger seat as well...
The seat cushion/massager I used was made for ac and dc and had both adaptors so I was sure it would work for the truck. I bought this a while back like I said but I couldnt find any around here for dc so good thing I had this that my gf wasnt using...Now to also look for another one I can destroy and use in my truck Ive seen massage kits for cars and stuff that are exactly like what I did but they run like 200-300 bucks. This cost me like 20 bucks.
Its also a seat cushion/heater so i took the heating pad out as well and will be using to install in the back seats Anyone know where to get the factory heated seats swtiches to match for the back? I want it to look like it goes...
and I put the pictures as thumbnails cuz I know there are some slow comps out there and I like to add a lot of pics so everyone could enjoy this page...hehehe
You beat me to it, I was going to do the same once i got my seats re-done in leather. Nice work.

thanks for the idea. I think I am going to do mine up as well. I have the fabric seats, so don't know if I should do the heat or not. If you want to Paypal me the cost, I'll send you one from my Wal Mart, hmm, you might also try there WalMart site on line. My walmart has about 40 of em'
never thought about walmart online...Ill check that first...u remember what brand they were or what not so I can find easier?
Also to add to my original post...The right massager inside the seat eventually vibrated itself out of the lil slot I cut out for it seem like I didnt do a good cut as the other BUT some quick spray adhesive and sucker hasnt moved since...Id advise u put some of that too just to be sure they stay in place...thats what holds them in place in the actualy seatcover/massager
Well I got a couple at Wal Mart. They are $19.96 . The brand is Roadmaster what must be the worst brand name in the world. But the seat massager seems to have the same motors yours does. There are six of them four in the back part and two in the leg. It also has heat. The controller has three intensity settings and two modes pulse and massage.. Each section is individually controlled. It has a long cable with inline 2amp fuse for 12volt car power. Ac power is not an option.
I'll post a pic when I can get to it.
the part number is RMSC610
box would prolly cost about $4 to ship and you being in Texas you would probably get it the next day.
Here is the picture, and since I don't have controls for heated seats on my Titan SE, I ordered this Infiniti Part. It has four switch positions, Which I plan on making one heat and one massage for each seat.
I'm not totally crazy about the wood look, But my Titan is green so maybe it will work. If it looks okay, I'll get the Infiniti wood trim for the doors as well.
I grabbed it off Ebay. I got if for $47 for shipping. There seem to always be a few out there. I think he had another one. If you see one for $99 or Best offer, offer something lowball like 45 - 40 or so. I think the dealership cost is rather high.
