Is my car deficient in some way, or do these seat warmers just not get very warm? My other car will burn my *** on the highest setting. The S4 barely gets warm on 6, 1-5 are pointless.

I have seen others post with this problem but I have had no problem with my seat warmers. I assume the A4 and S4 warmers are the same... I put mine on 4 and usually have to bring it down to 3 by the time I get to work because its too hot. 6 will burn my butt off. If I have tons of layers on (which isn't too often in Dallas) it does take longer to feel the warmers and I do have to put them up higher but it eventually gets there.

Not nearly as warm as my B5, B7 or TT seat warmers were.

Is it at all possible that this was changed in a software update? I could swear that last winter they were much warmer. I seem to recall using 4 rather than 6 because 6 was too hot, but that could be my brain inventing a memory.

My seat warmers work immediately and I usually have them on 2-3 I cant stand any higher than that its too much

Mine are similar...I mean, they do get pretty warm, but only in certain areas: it's weird. The seat stays cold toward my butt but the seat warms up pretty significantly toward my knees. IDK what's up with these warmers. My VW Jetta heats up in 1 minute to burning temps...

It's a struggle with mine on 6 to tell they're on. The warmers in the last two A4's were excellent *** burners, but it's disappointingly different in the S4.

I have no problem with the warmers. Generally don't use 5 or 6 because I get too warm.

Very interesting, the differences here. With jeans on, I can't feel mine if it's below 5 or 6. Very wimpy compared to my wife's X5 that will burn your butt off if you have it any higher than halfway.

(it's also annoying that you have to push a button and turn a dial to set the seat warmers in this car - how hard is it to design a single control for this?)

They aren't that warm. I would say that they are between my E63 (hottest) and Q5 (coldest).
