I am wondering if anyone who owns an ST2 like myself is wondering if heated seats can be added. Any info or thoughts?

I assume your body harness does not have the plugs already there for the switches. If that is the case, then you either need to spend 400-600 bucks on a body harness or you need to figure out how to wire it all up yourself. that is how the ST1 folks will have to do it if trying to make it all factory looking/functioning.

I'll be doing this on the ST2. I'm not sure if it has the plugs or not as it will be 2 weeks before I actually pick up my car. On the modules and pads will I have to source used ones or can we get them from Ford?

You can get everything from ford.
I have an ST2, it's wired closer to how the ST3 is than the ST1 but there seemed to be a few missing wires in the body harness. The ST2 console harness does not have any of the required wires. I think as stated before here that there is power in the fuse block and there is power under the seat on the st2, probably main power to the module.
If needed I could probably get and post the schematics for the 2014 cars, wire colors may have changed.

If you could put up those schematics that would be great. So far I have the entire center console from a Titanium with heated seats (including switches and e-brake) I just need to get everything else and figure out how to add the missing wires.

Ok I'll see if I can get them tomorrow, shouldn't be much different than the 2013 diagrams I posted earlier but wire colors and pins may have changed.

Sorry for the delay, I completely forgot. Here are the schematics for the 2014 cars from the repair/electrical manual

Let me know if anyone needs a close up or connector view and which connector.

If anyone else needs clearer diagrams, or any other wiring diagrams, I found them here:

So what are the switches getting from the BCM? It seems as if the switch just shares 12v with the bcm? So does it even need to be wired to the BCM?
Do you guys have access to body harnesses? Wondering how the harness is routed for the seats. Does it go up and through the dash? I would think the dash harness is separate and there would be a few main connectors at the kick panels or right under the dash.
I am doing something similar to my wifes 2008 edge right now. She wanted the power lift gate, so I am changing the body harness and adding all the other components. Checking the BCM tomorrow night to see if it needs to be programmed.
Edit: So with the ST1 it looks like we have fuses already in the fuse panel for the heated seats. At least for one because it is pin 85 that people use for hard wiring the radar detector. So the wiring for the heated seats should partially be in the car, probably as part of the dash harness and then it goes to a large connector for the body harness and distributes to everything from there.
I would love to see a body harness schematic to see how it lays out. It may not be that bad to swap it, but you are talking $400+ for the harness.

If anyone is looking for an ST3 center console with ebrake and heated seat switches, I am looking for an ST2 center console with the ebrake. I'm looking for pretty much brand new ('14). I prefer the ST2 cup holders and e-brake and would probably just grab the Focus SE heated seat switches !

I dislike that ebrake as well, one of the factors in stepping to a ST2.
Just looking for some clarification on this... The wires you tapped are on the seat wiring harness? Are the wires you tapped already set up with connectors to switched power from the car harness?

Yes they are. They turn off when the car does.

Has anyone put one of these bezels into an ST2?
Thanks! I found the right ones. How about putting the pads in the racaros? I took my seat out and messed with it for a couple hours but couldn't get the pad past the first couple inches

There are velcro sections in the seats where the leather meets the cloth if I recall correctly. It feels like you are hitting a seem but it is the velcro. Carefully separate it, on my first one I just tore past it which ripped the velcro out of the foam. It did not hurt the seats appearance or function though so if you do rip it out, it's not the end of the world.
Awesome, thank you for all the input! I'll take the seat out and try again.
Also, for those interested in connecting the power to the wiring harness bracket on the seat...I ordered this part from Ford: 2013 Ford Focus Seat Back Adjuster Wiring | FordParts.com
It's the least expensive wiring I could find for a seat component. I'm hoping this has the correct connector like the other colored ones that slide into the black assembly. It was only $5 to find out, and I will let you guys know what I actually end up getting when it comes.
Any update on this? Unfortunately that link doesn't work for me. I don't see a part. If it worked, do you have a part number, pic of what it is?
Sorry for the delay...no this wasn't what I thought it would be. It must clip into another harness under the seat, but it doesn't fit in the main assembly like I was hoping it would.
