?Also, do you have leather or Nuluxe?
On F-Sport as you may know, Nuluxe is the only material and perhaps the heating element is different for Nuluxe or F-Sport seats... just theorizing now....

I have an f sport and the heating is not nearly as warm as my last two vehicles ('04 Acura TL/'07 MDX). I am disappointed in this but love the car. Maybe caused by the nuluxe and how it absorbs heat?

The injected foam process is only used on the F Sport seats, not the non-F Sport seats. It's the injection process, not the fact that it's Nuluxe, that prevents them from being ventilated. I have the non F Sport seats, which is why I was able to get Nuluxe and ventilation. It was, quite honestly, one of the biggest reasons I opted to not get the F Sport package. Hope that makes sense.

Hope everyone with weak heaters brings same up with their dealer, so we can all benefit if a fix is employed.
I brought same up with my dealer, but they said they tested another car, which was the same. Same or not, my heated seats barely heat.
