heated car seats and vinyl?

[Mike]

im inquiring for someone else who want to reupholster some car seat and was concerned in there was a problem using on a heated seat vinyl rather then leather?  so I come to the experts

Factory seating with heating is vinyl or re bonded leather of some sort which is not genuine leather. Some car manufactures, of course, do use Genuine Leather. But the average maker does not. Toyota is a good example. My Prius has heated seats and it is not Genuine Leather. I am not expert at this but I don't see an issue using a good commercial grade vinyl with heated seats.
