Can I add heat to my seats?

I have a set of NB leather seats with some problems, including stains, wear and an malfunctioning airbag. I've found two possible sets of replacement seats, but they're unheated. The car is wired for heat, so that's no problem.

Can I salvage the heating units from my old GLS seats and install that in an unheated leather or cloth seat?

I would assume however that the heaters are elements that are added into the standard seats without any pad modification. This based on the way GM does it, and I'm sure others. Since worst case scenario, you have the covers off both sets of seats anyway, change the covers and not the frames.
