![Question](https://www.clublexus.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
I'm extremely happy with my recent purchase
. But I'm somewhat disappointed with the "climate control seats" considering the engineering (and accompanying price tag) associated with this option. I find that the cooling effect is hardly noticeable. I have yet to experience their heating capability.
Any other opinions on this?

The coolers are subtle but effective - I come out of the gym hot and sweaty (even after a shower) to a hot car and the seats cool me down within a couple of minutes.
The heaters also take a little time to come on - assume 3-5 minutes before you're really toasty.
My old BMW X5 seat heaters took a while too.
if you feel nothing after 10 minutes you've got a problem that needs attention. Or the car does

Given Mercedes record on reliability the heat is probably from the electrics in the power seats short -circuiting. I hear that can generate a lot of heat pretty quickly.
