I was able to change my seat heater from the automatic setting (default high to low). I changed it to manual so once I push the seat heater once, it is high and will not get lowered unless I push the button again. I know some of us GS4 owners were not happy about the automatic lowering of the temperate on the seats. The developer is still working on other things but I just want to chime in and give you guys a heads up...

if they are working on it...can we get a completed software to take advantage of the current hardware on the 13? especially the voice command and nav. Adding rear cross traffic is welcomed. At least make it better than the 2015 camry.

I used Carista to change the seat heater to manual mode. Carista is an app through google play (android phones)

I have the software. Which setting did you use? I only see to turn off auto heaters in eco mode. Is that it?

G-SharK

I have the beta version right now. I'm testing it for Carista. They are working on a new release right now that you should be able to update soon. I will keep you all posted...

I had a stripped down loner ES350 when my F Sport was in the shop and it had crossing traffic alerts. Not gonna lie, I was jealous. I don't understand why we don't have it. I have BSM on mine. Why Lexus! Why!

I'm sure they will have it on the 2015 remake... They can't put everything all in one, otherwise there is nothing to look forward to in the future... $ maker

I have the beta version of the app, can you tell me what feature you turned on or off?

seat heater, change it from automatic to manual

Carista

Thanks for the post, G-SharK The setting in the current beta version of Carista is in "Heater & A/C" -> "Seat heater mode" -> MANUAL

There's one more setting that is available for the seat heaters. Does anyone know how to activate it? Not sure if it's not possible if you have the luxury package, but on the loaner GS I recently had, if I had activated the seat heater button and then turned the car off, when I returned and turned the car back on, it remembered that was left on. On my luxury package, it does not remember that setting.

They have it on the 2014. Works well on mine.

My 2013 GS F Sport has always remembered the seat heater settings. Even after getting the dealer to update the software so that it stops 'auto-declining' the seat heater power over time (before it would go from 3 to 2 to 1, and now it just stays on 3 if that's where I have it set) the settings are still remembered after turning off the car then later restarting. So I'm not sure what's going on with yours.
