I think the grid only covers the back half of the seat cushion.
Size of the grid, wattage of the grid, and how deep it is buried in the foam all contribute to the perception of effectiveness. Still, would not want to be without this gadgetry! |

The only gotcha is that seat heater/cooler LED's do not illuminate when this is used and the function reverts to "manual mode" upon pressing the engine start button, which is confusing and probably why people think this isn't supported.

I usually let my car warm up for most of the 10 minute idle limit due to me being extremely close to the freeway onramp, both at home and at work. If I don't, then on a cold day, my car isn't up to temp before I hit the freeway. I don't like doing that. Not sure about you guys, but I have cheese heads that live around here that like to get on the freeway doing 35-40.

Never used the heated seats since my Z is stored for the winter. But the cooling of the seat work pretty good. But if my ass is in the seat for a while the cooling affect seems to fade. Not sure if it has anything to do with the ac but usually if u have that on ut works better. But i hate ac.

it makes a difference if you turn the floorboard vents on with ac, then it blows cold ac to under your seat, which in turn gets blown up to you to eliminate the swamp ass effect. |

I think there is a service bulletin for this - you have to install an electron catch can on the positive battery feed to the heated seat control module. This makes the module run cleaner so the seat can get up to temperature faster. Just have to periodically empty out the bad electrons.
Sure there is a lot of debate on this but it works!! |

Wanted to add that my Subaru and 2ss both had/have really slow and weak heated seats. My gf's trail hawk heats up so fast and gets really hot. On hers it ha cloth in the middle where the elements are and the rest of the seat is leather. I'm sure that makes a difference. Probably the same thing with the vented seat, it probably makes the heating element less efficient since it has to have holes in it to be able to pass the air through

Otherwise you would quickly deplete batteries through constant drain and charge. Remember your car, alternator and battery have no idea how long your operating cycles are and cannot project charging based on a battery drawdown. Hybrid and EV's manage power differently but for our regular vehicles it's the same as it ever was - with the inclusion of enhanced voltage consumer distribution via the charging system.

When I first got my 2017 Silverado I wasn't aware of all this. The first time I saw the V meter drop below 14 to about 12.5 I was in a panic and pulled into a Chevy dealer. The service rep assured me it was all normal operation.

The seats are "ok"...my BMW will burn your ass hairs off....one thing that sucks IMO is the heated steering wheel, very very weak compared to other cars I've owned.
