Heated Seats Memory?

SlammedR8 · 03-03-2009, 11:00 PM

How does it work?

Lets say I have my seat heater on...I turn the car off ... I get out... I lock it...I come back and turn the ignition ON and sometimes and ONLY sometimes the heated seats go back on. But MOST of the time, they are off and i have to turn them back on to my preferred setting. Is there a certain amount of time that it keeps it in the memory? I usually notice that whenever its a short period of time that Im out of the car, thats when the car remembers and turns them on when I come back to the car.

Just wondering if anyone knows how it works...what determines whether the heated seats come back on when you start the ignition again.

Its def a time thing and not weather, i tried it in cold and hot weather. i coudnt figure out what the exact time it kept it in the memory for... but def for short periods. My guess,, its something like the rest feature on the ac/heating, possible 30 mins.

Here is what the manual says:
"If you continue driving within approx. 15 minutes, the seat heating is automatically activated at the previously set temperature"
Pg 43 of the Manual Column 2 lines 6-8 (http://www.m3post.com/goodiesforyou/e92-m3-manual.PDF)

Yeah, it's in the Manual. It' only remembers it for a short amount of time so if you run into a store quickly or something like that you don't have to put it back on.
