Weak Heated seat ?
Hey guys, Car is a 2014 is350 awd fsport "nulex" seats bought it a couple of months ago. It started getting cold these past couple of days, so i started to use the heated seats/seat warmers. Started with the highest level and after a couple of mins it goes down to level two and then level one, but after leaving it on from the highest to the lowest level the seat is at best just barely warm. If the heat is on in the car i can barely tell if my seat warmers are even working since the temp blends in. On the other hand the heat and ac is amazing in the lex. In my audi and benz the heated seats will burn your behind in just a couple of mins
I did some searching and came upon this thread where people is having issue with theirs also, which lexus knows about. Its been a year since anyone post anything new or any updates. I want to know if any people have this issue and if lexus have a fix for it.

I have noticed the same pattern with the heated steering wheel. Seems it "feels" the best when it's really cold. In reality, it's just a larger temperature gap that I perceive as more warmth.
Yes, I sometimes wish there was a higher temperature setting available, but at least it doesn't set me on fire I guess...

If you live in cold area like the east coast, the seat warmers are terrible.
For me in CA, they do just fine. Would be nice if Lexus added another level for the colder states since it gets a lot of complaints.

Really? we just had a week of -31F (-35C) up here in Alberta Canada, and the heated seats on high works very well at cold start, than I would need to switch them down to 2 dots after about 15mins and eventually down to 1 dot after about 25mins of driving.

Well i did some testing with a infrared thermometer and my lexus is parked in my climate control garage. It shows 62'F on a cold seat, with the heated seat on high setting until it drop down to the second setting which is about 15mins the seat are 79'F. I did the same test but this time with me sitting down on the seat and then got up and it is 89'F. Next i turn the heat on to 71'F and fan on speed 3 which is what i have most of the time, with also the heat seat setting on highest waited about 15mins for it to drop to the second setting, then tested the seats to be at 86'F. Same test but with me sitting on the seats again and test came back to 92'F.
Does this seem to be right? I lay my hands down on a cold seat to feel the temp and then feel it again with the heated seats on high for about 15mins and i can barely tell the difference.
I did a test on my audi which is my daily and parked outside. It has 6 setting from 6 being the hottest, i usually have it on 5 then back to 4 and then 3. Cold seat are 53'F, heated seat on 5th setting for about 15min 93'F
with me on it tested to be at 102'F

Indeed, the seats in my Z4 felt like they left grillmarks if you left them on more than a few minutes. And yes, going from that to the ones in my 2014 makes me check to see if they're on. At best they get a bit warm, although the steering wheel is decent.

My heated seats in my 2019 get hotter on the highest setting than any other car I’ve owned. At least twice as hot as my Acura TL.
I do admit the change from hot to medium is a huge step. I wish there was more of a difference between medium and low.
