My '02 A4 had 6 heated seat levels and they felt sooo good..
My '07 A6 had 5 heated seat levels and they felt good.
My wife's '11 Q5 has 5 heated seat levels (IIRC) and they are OK
Now, My '12 A6 has 3 heated seat levels, they aren't very warm, and you can't even use level 3 for more than 10 minutes

Any Vag-Com changes that can be done to turn of this "feature", that is leave it on level 3

AND
Is there a way to up the temperature?!

Curious about this as well.

Are you suggesting the heating is too less or too much?

WNT2FLY

Temp is too low, and you can only use level 3 for 10 minutes, then it goes to level 2.

That's probably to avoid overheating an element. Duty Cycle.

In my old MY2001 Mercedes, it has same feature that turns down heated seat from max level after certain time.

riiight.. because all the older cars with previous technology never had this "feature" and never had this issue. That is a response Audi would give us... come on..

I think the heated seats option is most useful in the initial 10 minutes , by that time the climate control and body heat would have reduced the coldness to comfortable levels anyway.

different time than 10min (0min means off)


unfortunately only in german language

BINGO.. .thats it
Zeit bis Sitzheizleistungsrucknahme Stufe 3 auf Stufe 2
means (roughly)
Time to seat heating capacity repossession level 3 to level 2

What is the value set at? i'd assume if its 10 minutes than you'd see 600 in there for seconds.

Interesting that there is a 2 to level 1 as well..
