I've had my 2010 Sport for about 2 months now and with all the cold weather in Atlanta, I find myself using my seat heaters much more than I typically would. I find the front seat heaters fairly weak with even the highest setting not getting very warm. I'm comparing this to my now departed 550i where a the highest setting was hot - probably too hot. I've done a search and found similar comments in the GS forums but none in the LS.

Has anyone else had this issue where the heat coming from the front seats of their LS seems kind of weak?

Thanks.

no issues w/ my 2010 so far. i keep the heat on low most of the time but do crank it up from time to time.

actually I think the heaters are pretty decent on my 2008 LS460 but I am critical of the air circulation for cooling. My BMW 745 previously seemed to provide more air circulation through the seat for cooling.

I too find that the front seat heaters in the LS460 are not as "warm/hot" as those on the LS430 or the back seats of either car. I believe the unit is located under each front seat and is a combined "refrigeration/heating" unit and circulates the air through the holes in the leather seats. This is in contrast to the older models and the rear seats that just used electrical coils/wires in the seat to provide heat. This is supposed to be a step up? Lost some heat and gained a little refrigerated cool air....
