Heated Seats?

It's 36 degrees out and raining and I decided to try out my heated seats the 1st time today on the way home from work.

I flipped it to "high" and waited... and waited... and waited... Finally after about 5 minutes I felt a little warmth in the seat back but nothing in the seat cushion.

Hmmm... I turned on the heater for the passenger seat and left it on for about 5 minutes and felt it.

The back of the chair got warm but not the seat cushion.

So it seems that the only part of the seat that is heated is the seat back
and not the cushion?

Can someone else confirm?

That's weird. I didn't even know the back of the seat heats up. When I put it on low, I definitely feel the warmth from the seat bottom. On high, it sometimes burns my a$$. Can't wait to really use them when the weather gets colder here. Thanks to global warming, it's still in the mid 60s here in the Bay Area.

Both the lower back and the seat cushion should get warm/hot. It does take a while though.

With heated seats, the Germans will always own the Japanese, badly.

A pair of MB seat heaters will literally light a fire under your...well, let's just say using second-stage heat requires heck to freeze over. With the G35 the second-stage heaters help a little bit, but they're largely just to take the edge off.

Heated, and for that matter, cooled seats in the M are weak too. I betcha the M & G now have common parts.

I posted about this very same thing a few weeks ago. heat seemed weak. But you know, now I've gotten used to it. Maybe it got hotter? I don't know.

At first I thought the lower setting was worthless. But now, I like the subtle heat it gives. It's like the High setting on the new car is equal to the Low setting on my old 2003. And now we have a weaker yet 3rd setting.

How come no one has invented heated steering wheel and heated shift ****? Because my 6MT's shift **** vibrates like crazy, even at idle, it would be a big seller to females if it also warmed up, too.

The 07 Maxi can come equipped with a heated steering wheel and even heated rear seats! Heated rear seats would come in handy in the winter if you wanted to go "parking" with your woman!
