You can get a set of seat heaters for less than 100 on Amazon. I am putting them in next summer. My friend did his wife's car and said it's easy just takes time to get the seat covers on and off.
After all this talk I ended up ordering the Tech Era set and a micro add a fuse. A buddy and I are going to do both our trucks this weekend if it doesn't snow.

Had them on a previous truck and lasted one season.

I put the cheap Chinese kits into my old Bronco (with newer Econoline Club Wagon seats), and they're still working fine a few years later. This & the NEXT two captions list the details:
In that kit, there's virtually nothing to fail: a common relay, a simple switch, some wires, and the Carbon-fiber heating elements. If you hardwire it directly to a switched fuse, you don't have to fight the nanny modules.
Installed and aftermarket kit. My fingers hurt but it was worth it! I tucked the extra wires in under the center console. Used fuse 36 in the cabin with an add a circuit.
Turned out really well. Did my friends Chevy 2500 too. He had zero extra fuses that were switched.
I also have a 2011 XLT and added aftermarket heated seats. I used the 40A always on circuit for the inverter (which I don't have). then tapped a switched circuit under the radio for the controller. I have a thumbwheel controller mounted to the right of the Sync connector. Settings are 0-10 for each seat. Has worked for several years. I removed both seats and the center console to run the wiring under the carpet. Also vacuumed a bunch of junk that had accumulated.
