. any advice on a cost effective way to retrofit?
3rd party kits are available....
OEM retro fitting is also possible.
There was a member recently that fitted a 3rd party kit.
And a suggestion that it could be fitted under a seat cover.

Ah but I’ve got a bit used to them on my caddy and it’s been minus 10 this week so I’ve used them a lot!
I bought this kit, had it fitted by local upholsterer and connected by auto electrician. Cost about £500 all in. Very impressed with it - as good as any of the factory fitted heated seats I've had before.
Waeco do cheaper versions too but after a lot of research, this is apparently the one to go for.

They are nice to have tho'.
Our Tiguan has a heated steering wheel. I'd have never thought that would be necessary. It isn't, but it is nice.
Fwiw.
Totally love my heated seats, this time of year.
But.
Not as much as I love the heated front windscreen.
Game changer is the understatement of the century.

Thank you - that’s really helpful!
Oh I totally agree, I've had them in previous vehicles with both leather and cloth seats.
They're one of the things that I had to compromise on when I was looking for my ideal van, but I don't really miss them with cloth seats.
If my van had leather then I definitely wouldn't be without them.
there's also these guys:
(might be a bit far for you though!?)
or, if you're feeling flush they do an OEM retrofit...
