I bought a Vision Tour Premium and I think the heated seat switch is on the trunk.  If I take the trunk off and run in the Street mode, do I lose my heated seats?

Since the Street Premium doesn't have a trunk, is the heated seat switch on the dash?  That would make the four switches Heated Grips/Emergency flashers/Running Light/Heated seats.  Can I get my Tour wired for the Heated Seats from both the dash (for Street mode) and the trunk (Tour mode)?

Since the bike won't be released until the Fall, this is nice to know information.

I recall seeing 2 button-switches in the area of the bottom of the passengers seat. The view was looking
under, through the grabrails. Maybe they are the rotating rheostat type. Let me go look on another board.

What are the switches for on the front, left cornerĀ of the trunk in this pic?

I believe it is a CB intercom PTT (push to talk) button. Only visions with the antenna have the CB system, and the others have no antenna at all. One of my few complaints about the Vision was horrible FM reception (I won't even mention AM), which would be helped exponentially with an external FM antenna.

I would concur with choirguy. None of the Vision Tourers I rode had the antenna or the switches on the tourpack, but they did have the comfort package which includes the heated seats & grips.


SongFan - I had to edit your photo as it was much too big for our forums. I cropped it to the appropriate size and content.

JAM, thanks for the crop-job.  Sorry about the oversized pic. 

You guys that have ridden a Premium Edition, are the switches between the grab-rail and the rear seat?  Does each seat have its own switch?  Are they adjustable or just High/Low?

Thanks.

Can't answer for the heating switches (sorry ) but when I was checking out the bikes at the demo tour in Atlanta, I did learn that the passenger push-to-talk was the switch on the left front of the seat.

Here are some pix of the passenger switches - I think one is PTT and the other is volume. Don't know - maybe it is a switch for a heated seat? Hard to tell from my photos - I wasn't focusing my camera on these details at the time. Notice that the switches are reversed on the two bikes.

 

And here are a couple of pix of the switches on the tank. Maybe someone can figure out what the switch on the left means. It may be heated handgrips. Once again, the focus point of the camera wasn't on these details - and I've blown up this portion of the images.

The back seat has a lip like a mushroom and the heated seat switches are between the rail and the seat base. ...I hope thats clear as mud....




I don't know what it takes to move the switch other than a bit more cable to close the circuit but there was a vacant button or blank on the dash of the Vision Premium I rode which could be used to locate the riders seat.....

I was just looking at the Polaris Website for the Vision Models. If you go to the link below and watch the video clip for "Comfort" it actually says the following: "For cold weather riding, there's an optional heated seat with separate three position controls for rider and passenger."

These 2 switches were on the Vision prototypes at the Laughlin, NV River Run. I believe they are for the heated seats. They do not rely on the tour pack being mounted so they can appear on both the tour and street models.

The switch on the left on the dash is for the heated handle bar grips. High on top and Low on bottom. Assume off in middle position.

Since the Street Premium doesn't have a trunk, is the heated seat switch on the dash?  That would make the four switches Heated Grips/Emergency flashers/Running Light/Heated seats.  Can I get my Tour wired for the Heated Seats from both the dash (for Street mode) and the trunk (Tour mode)?

I just looked at the accessories catalogue about an hour ago.  It said heated seats are controlled separately, with the switches being under the left side of each seat.
