Heated Seat Temp

[rigga955]

Might be a daft question, but are the heated seats hooked into the climate control in some way? As the hotter I set the car heating the seats seem to correspond, or maybe when its cold enough to need hot air circulating atoms the car I can feel the seats better. ?

AFAIK they are a constant temperature and are not computer controlled, basically they are either on or off controlled by the switch.

They may feel warmer in cold weather if your backside is very cold also!

Well yes that was my thought initially, colder the bum the hotter the seat feels, but I'm sure they feel hotter at times after I've been in the car a while and my cheeks have warmed up a tad and I've turned the heating up ..... as you say from my knowledge of heated seats when u was in the trade they are constant temp with a thermo switch to shut them off before they get too hot, but its Lexus here so I wondering

Mine warm up after a few minutes, then get really hot for about 5mins then seem to turn themselves off or cool down a bit. After about 15 mins they get really hot again then cool down again and on it goes like this.

Doesn't matter what temp I set the gauge this is what always happens. :)
