A mat incorporating a heating wire and intended for installation in a motor vehicle seat for heating the motor vehicle seat. The novel mat includes further antennas or antenna components of an antenna system, which cooperates with a resonator/transponder of a child seat. The mat thus forms a part of a system for detecting the presence of a child seat placed on the motor vehicle seat.
