Well I have gone and done something drastic.

I have reduced the ambient outside temperature at which the heated seats and steering wheel come on automatically from the pre-set 10C to 7C.

We are well hard up here in the North 8)

Mine is set for minus 20C, still comes on in the summer occasionally.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

At my age, the less decisions I have to make the better. More time for fun :evil:

Nothing is wrong with a button, but why have this technology and not use it. Pressing buttons is so last year :D

Here is a link to a You Tube video. It's not a G29 but it's basically the same.

I love the auto function that us well are Salopians also use to set the seat to 7C. It helps on cold mornings to be able to do as little setting up as possible and concentrate on driving so I'm all for the automation.

Frosty this morning at 1c, took her out of the garage and within 100 yards could feel the heated steering wheel getting toasty and the seats 100 yards later. No buttons pushed except the wife had to press one to get her seats started.

Haven't been able to find out if I can pre set the passenger seat so she will just have to do it manually for now at least.
