My heated seats barely seem to get warm even on high and then after about 5 minutes shut off - or I can barely feel them. Is this normal?? My VW would burn my a** after about 5 minutes where as I can't even feel any heat in the G.

 

I don't know if it's normal, but mine sure get hot. I've seen others mention that theirs are only luke warm too. After 2-3 minutes you can definitely tell when mine are on high. I'm in an '03 G, maybe they got less powerful in later models? I dunno.

 

Same here with my 03' I have to turn them off after about 5 min because even on low they get too warm. Thats what concerns me is what its doing to the leather

 

they shouldnt be shutting off.

they are a little slow to warm up, but they seem sufficient. but yes, the VW ones get HOT. way too hot.

 

Mine aren't very warm even after they've been on for a long time.. the BMW 3 series.. now THAT car has some good damn heated seats!

 

Mine work fine. Takes a good 3-5 min to get to full power but ... something definately wrong with yours

 

Same issue here, just thought I was alone on this, but apparently not.

 

I agree, mine on my '05 work just fine, and the temp is just right, you don't want them getting that hot, they are just supposed to warm you, not burn you!

 

Mine dont even get warm really. Even after a somewhat long drive.

 

I can defenetly feel mine and love it in the "winter"

 

Ill have the dealer check into it when they replace the seats.

 

lol are you people wearing really thick clothing or something?

even my low setting is plenty warm...

 

yup...the heated seats in my 330ci are amazing...wish the G35 was the same way

 

mine gets pretty hot... but i don't really use it at all..... my wife loves it though

 

At first I can hardly feel them, then about 45 mins later they will get super hot for couple minutes then cool off again... This is on my 350z tho..
