Seat heating - am I missing something?
3-and-a-bit years in, I suppose I'd better ask you lot...have searched but not found much info on this.
Every time I want to put the heated seats on lowest setting (1 green light), it always starts on the highest (3 green lights). Seems counter intuitive to me to have to turn heated seats on, then have to keep pressing 2-3 times just to select minimum. ...am I missing something? Cheers. Stewie |

My TT does the opposite and I prefer the BMW approach.

I would have thought if you want heated seats on then full blast would be what you want, then a lower setting once it's warmed up after a few minutes. That's how I use it, so it works for me.

This sounds like the women and thermostat thread, does the seat warm up quicker on the top setting rather than the lowest?
All I know is the top setting is hot enough to boil your plums! |

Seems common sense to me. One press for full blast and then another press to ease off as your arse warms up nicely..

Agree with the above, Mercedes do the same as well.
Infact Mercedes heated seats have a timed countdown from full to medium to low and then off! |

Bimmercode will only allow me to reduce the top setting down 5 degrees so it's nowhere near the range of the lowest setting so you can reverse them.

I think my wife would notice if I had to press the heated seat button three times to get her seat to secretly warm up to full blast
