heated seat retrofit

[der affe]

so i purchased heated seat blankets and harnesses from joe funk (shamless plug) and i am going to install them in my recaro trophy seats, but i need some help with the wiring. installing the elements is no issue, installing the switches and running the wires is no big deal, but as far as getting the power to the seats from the fuse box and grounding points, that is where i need help.

i did a search, but it didn't really turn up much to help me.
has anyone done this with stock seats and can give me some pointers as far as the wiring goes?

there should just be an empty plug socket up under the knee bolster, and it is all plug and play.

oh, is it just a little 2 prong and a ground eyelet?
if so i think i got an extra harness in the box with it.
that would explain a lot of the confusion!
