Heated seats issue? Help!

I want to know, if anyone has the heated seats option, and problems! My seat does not heat up at all, is it very weak, or is it that it may be broken. I feel a difference in everyother car, except this. Can i have some feedback on this? Or maybe advice on what i should do if there is anything to do?

Thanks!

I've noticed that some times I can feel it, other times, I don't. It depends a lot on the outside temp.

They are weak and it takes them a while to get warm.

Turning up the heat in the car helps if you're not already doing that. There are rear heating ducts under the front seats - I think that a good bit of the hot air out of those rear ducts goes up into the front seats and helps warm up the seats.

There are several threads on this topic if you search.

Yes, my right frnt pax seat bottom is significantly cooler than the drivers seat bottom...the seat backs are equally warm. I think there is a significant difference in the temps.

Ambient.....

You may not feel much heat, depends on the ambient temp. The heaters are the type that warm up to 80* to take the chill off, then turn off. They never get really toasty like BMW/Audi seats.
