Timed Heated seats
A question:
I have an 2006 Screw FX4 plus
Is there a way to keep heated seats on at all the time.
Looks like they are timed and they turn off after about 10 min
I would like to have full controll of this.
Do you know how to disable that timer?
THX for help

I will push the button, I can live with it

Its like the heated rear glass on most cars. It times out so you dont forget to turn it off. Leave it on 24/7 and it burns out the elements that much faster. They arent very durable as it is. Your heater is capable of putting out about 160 degrees... I doubt you need heated seats if you use the heater for its intended purpose. Those seats arent designed to be an alternative to the main heater.
I had people wanting me to diag their heated seats in the dead of summer when it was 115 outside. The bloody things wouldnt even try to work in that heat and I sure wouldnt be able to tell if they were... sheesh some peoples children.

But when there is -30 outside, you may want to have them on for longer than 10 min

Some might think a BMW has heated seats so in the summer/fall when you drive it in the evening after the sun goes down and gets brisk, you can look at the stars and have a warm butt. However, the heated seats are mainly for the sport tuned suspension, they are so tight, the heated seats help to decompress your spine after hitting a pothole.

My truck is always warm before the seat heaters turn off. Even when it's -30 out. The ones in my Max stay on and I burned them out because I always forgot to turn them off. Seems like a smart idea to me.
