Update: What a disappointment today. My 2006 SE Wagon does not have the connections for heated seats in the wiring harness that runs down the tunnel from beneath my radio. At first I thought I needed a different harness under my console to plug into the R43 male connector but after reviewing the wiring diagram for the heated seats, that connector should have an additional four wires running to it.
power wire directly from fuse box
power wire from relay, fed by fuse box
two grounds
In addition to that. When I installed the passenger seat which is power, the male end harness peice that I found under the carpet does not plug into the seat itself. It appears there is a female/male intermediate harness I need.
This is a bummer. Luckily the wiring seems very straight forward and I should be able to hook this up relatively easy with my own harness still utilizing the stock switch.

Hi guys,
I have come across threads of people asking questions about heated seat upgrades but have not come across a thread where someone actually successfully did so in an 05 to 07 legacy. (if you know of one please provide a link which would be awesome )
I am installing heated seats from a 2006 Legacy GT into my 2006 SE Wagon.
What I have so far:
seats control switch fuse relay
What I have done so far:
Removed original seats Removed center console Found passenger side power connection taped to wiring harness beneath the carpet.
Now I am stuck. I cannot locate any of the male connectors for the control switch or the seats.
I have been reviewing the Subaru Service manual and in the Rear Wiring harness, it lists
R41 - Seat Heater LH (4 poll plug) R43 - Seat Heater Switch (20 poll plug) R44 - Seat Heater RH (4 poll plug)
Looking at OEM Subaru parts, there is only one rear wiring harness offered.
I believe the male R43 listed above is the one to the rear of my center console but it only has a power and ground wire leading to it in slots 9 and 20
Do I need a different sub-harness that is under my console that currently connects only to my center console 12v socket?
