Thanks.. I will look into these. In Denver, it's been around 0 to 10 degrees for the last week. A month ago, I found a simple heated pad at Costco that plugs into the cig. lighter. It has high / low settings and only cost $20. A cheap / temporary solution but really great !!

Hopefully, you figured this out, but if not... The facia is held on with some 'push clips'. Using a stiff putty knife, gently pry it off starting from the bottom and then the sides/top. The radio is held in with 4 screws. There is ample room to install a better head unit and other accessories. I installed a JVC KW-NT500 plus new speakers and a sub and LOVE IT! I left the clips off to allow easy future access.

Hope you found your seat... Too bad you could not get one from Ford (before they are shredded) http://blogs.insideline.com/straightline/2009/09/how-ford-avoids-the-chicken-tax-on-the-transit-connect.html
