The dumbest of requests? - Change Heated Seat Behavior?

[Oakstone]

I have two nit-picky issues with my heated seats that I'd like to adjust.

- I would like to have the seats start at level 1 not level 3 when turning them on. Currently it starts at 3 and then I have to push the button another two times to get to 1, which is the setting I use most. I understand this will result in more presses to turn things off, but I'd be ok with that.

- I would like to control the temps for the settings as 2 and 3 are waaay to hot for me, even in winter. Especially 3.

Looking at Livinitup's sheet, I found the screen shotted controls for seats:

My thought is that I could probably just reverse the settings in High and Low such that when the seats come on with the default of "high" it's actually the low setting (and then tweak the "high" setting to not burn my butt off)

But I couldn't see anything that would allow me to reverse the behavior of the button itself.

Anyone fooled around with this stuff?

Thats strange, my 2021 and 2023 both start on 1 and have to tap two more times to hit 3 to warm them up faster.

Probably best to ask questions like this in the dedicated Forscan thread. I am also curious though when I do exactly same thing much of the time turning seat to 1 when I get in.

I know we can adjust temperature
Not sure about starting position

Now I’m second guessing myself haha. I know it always starts at 3 when I’ve remote started but could have sworn it often starts at 3 in regular use too.

I might be fine with just adjusting the temps though if I am crazy and it does cycle 1 to 3. I can just dial them in for my comfort.

My ‘22 starts at 3 and I have to tap it down if I get too hot.

My 21 starts at 3 and I have to hit it twice to go down.

seems like you could flip the high-low values, but the LED indicator on the button would likely be wrong.

Keep backup of your settings as you should with any Forscan changes.

You can try setting the temperature to the same number for all 3 lines and see if that helps?

 

[Oakstone]

Ok I’m not crazy. My 22 does start on 3 haha.

If you have seats set for auto on remote start, you only have to press it two times. Halfway there!

Why not enable the climate controlled option so that the heat ramps down as the cab/seat warm up?

I didn't know that was a thing. Where would I find that control?

See here. I'm not sure if it works for heated only, but I'm not sure why it wouldn't.
