I, on purpose, have left the heated seats on when I turn the
beast off.
50/50 shot the seats will be on next time I turn it in.

How does this work?

One seat on setting 1 is too hot; the other is tolerable.
Can never use the higher ones, would be fried rump

I believe that's rump roast! >

If you have the comfort and convenience pack you are able to heat only the seat back, only the seat cushion or both. Very neat.

I don't see this option. The CC pack adds heated rear seats in addition to heated/cooled front seats. Am I confusing this?

That said I don't leave my heated seats on, hasn't really been cold enough to use them anyway.

Still wondering this too.

Have had occasion to use highest setting and appreciated it.

When you are on the seat screen and you have either the heated or cooled option enabled you press directly onto the large seat on the left or right (for driver or passenger) and a sub-menu will pop up that will give you a choice.

Yes they are the toastiest heated seats I've ever had. I never put the driver seat with my rump in it any higher than setting 1 unless it is in the negative numbers outside and the car's been sitting outside overnight.

As for them coming back on when the car is off for a while, I haven't figured it out specifically yet. It's not like the Dynamic setting which is 6 hours or so, its' clearly a smaller number than that, but it's also longer than the power in the car simply going out.

. . and for ICT, you simply touch the back or bottom parts of the seat icon. Default is both when activated, you then de-select either part of the seat.

 

[kerrydel]

One thing that I have noticed is that the seat heaters will come back on to where they were set when I start my FP with the Remote App. They only come back on when I use the push start button if the vehicle was off for a 'short' time. I haven't determined what 'short' is.

So there is obviously SOME kind of memory, cuz it works all the time with the remote, even after sitting in the lot at work for 8+ hours.

It is annoying especially coming from an Audi that ALWAYS came back on where they were set. And there was more gradation so that you could fine the RIGHT temperature.

My apologies for leaving ICT out, wasn't sure if it was the same process and didnt want to mislead anyone

Oh, no apologies needed, my friend, just covering the low end I am fascinated in the differences between ICT and ICTP. I get the sense that ICTP is not an iterative version, but rather, a complete re-design. There are some elements that are familiar, but most very different.

This is exactly what I can't figure out

You mean with ICT I can heat the rump OR the back?

From what @theweeb said, if you have the comfort and convenience pack, than yes you should be able to.

I do not have that luxury option

 

[theweeb]

Yeah the Comfort pack is key, how to get to it is just slightly different ICT to ICTP.

Experiment:
Left heated seat on yesterday. Parked beast at 9: am.

Remote started next day 7 am. Seat heater on.

Went to store, left seat heat on, 20 min later
Started beast no heat. .
???? No sense to me

Possible that the seat heat memory is tied to the temperature either inside or outside the vehicle? In other words, the next day the vehicle was cold, so seats heat, but the 20min stop at the store, vehicle interior already warmed, no seat heat.
