Heated Seats

Tried searching and couldnt find anything. Its already a given that the heated seats in our cars werent well thought out, because other car companies have like 6 to 8 settings to the seats, while we have high and low. My question is, when you turn on the heated seats, do you feel the difference? My car is 2 months old, but since day one, i never felt the difference when i put it on high. I put my hand to the seat, everything, but i really cant tell a major difference. Anyone else have this problem?

Yep, there is a difference on both low and high. I love the heated seats.

Mine set on high gets too warm for comfort, I only set it high in the winter when it's like 0°F, and even then after about 10-15min it gets uncomfortably hot. Maybe yours is broken.

This just triggered another thought: maybe the heat + soft leather seats = stretched leather seats.

It really pumps AC or just "regular" air?

Being a ladies man... I am an expert on the Butt, and I can tell you unequivocally, my seats work very well and toast the Butt to a pefect 100 degrees... and I likes my Ladies Butt's hot. I rarely use the low setting, high is needed since by the time you make it to the bedroom to get it on I find the low setting has discapacitated...

There doesn't need to be that many settings, if its cold out I'll toast my cheeks. I think someone could only really continually use high if they were in really cold temps. otherwise med is fine. I don't understand having 16 different wipers speeds, 3-4 is just fine.

+1 one that. The chilly days make for a nice heated seat & windows down combo.

One thing that i noticed with them though is that they arent constantly hot? They seem to fade in the heat and then fade out.. I wonder if thats normal between all seat warmers.
