Mine are very quick and start getting toasty within 1-2 mins, but that's on ED30 seats with cloth inners..
I never use to think heated seats were worth the extra cost when mates had them on some of their cars.. I can now safely say that I would have them everytime (if they're an option), especially after this winter..  :scared:

My missus think's it's funny to sneak it on at 5 in the height of Summer, she pretends to turn the stereo up then waits for me to squeal.   :fighting2:

My mate did this to me aswell, was 25 degrees outside and the seats were on 5, just hits you all of a sudden haha!

^ = Driving gloves Sy, jolly ho chaps!  :wink:

My heated Interlagos seats take at least 4 minutes to warm up then as already mentioned, they come on like coals simmering behind your back all of a sudden. Once they're hot, they go straight off in my car and that's usually only ever on setting 3. I've never gone higher!

The ones in my Pirelli seemed to heat up very quickly when I drove it last week and it was only on number 2!
 :sad1: Havent been able to drive it since!!

Ditto ^^^ Mine take no more than 2 minutes... very surprised how quick the warm up..


Level 5 is unbearable lol :scared:

Mine take around 3-4 mins when set to 5, then I have to turn down to 3 in order to keep myself on the seat  :grin:
I have leathers btw. An optional extra worth every penny IMO. Didn't have them in my last car, E46 coupe which had leathers too and it was like sitting on ice!  :scared:
