I thought someone was getting heated seats from the factory, so it might be something you could ask them about.

As to the cubby space in the front, it would seem like that would be fairly easy to get something built to fit in that space.
even a bit of plexi with rubber stoppers to prevent rubbing of the paint would go a long way.

I do wonder why they left the hole soo large directly above the transmission in that front area as I presume that at this point a lot of debry may find its way up there.
