I don't find this, my leather heats up pretty much immediately. particularly at lower settings for some reason.

Took a female friend out for a run in the car. Turned the heated seat up to 5. At first she didn't say anything. A couple of minutes later she remarked that she had got a warm wet feeling on seat. At first she thought that she had wet herself and was really embaressed!!!! Oh err  Missus  :grin: :grin:

yes they start heating straight away but take 5 mins to get real hot, but i noticed today that on lower setting seems to heat up quicker. But the ed30 was red hot almost straight away and used to make bolsters feel like they had gone colder as leather takes longer to heat and took 5 mins to catch up heat wise with the material center

That was sitting on a COLD surface and it is just a rumour. There is no medical evidence to prove that this is the case.

Carl, im sure your right, as i've never had the cloth seats before. i dont really like mine being very hot as i feel like iv messed myself so thats probably why im content at the lower heat the seats give out early on.

Hi guys... Mine set usually on 3, occasionally on 5 if it’s brass monkeys. I had a heated seat base replaced in my old 4-Motion it got very hot you could smell burning. Easy to do but not cheap. I couldn’t live without heated seats now.  ps I’ve got piles  :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley: :smiley:
