F-Type 400S heated seats
I realise this will be subjective but.........
I have an ex demo 400S convertible and I think the heated seats are rubbish.....or knackered.
The drivers seat is barely tepid, and the pax seat warmer.....how hot do yours get?
The XF I had as a curtsey car was like sitting on hot coals!

P.S. After reading all these other posts, I’m inclined to believe that either my seat [heat] is not working properly or that my a$$ is simply immune to heat.

The first time I turned mine on (remember, I'm in Georgia and I'm a wimp about "cold") I cranked it to 3 bars and quickly realized I'd rarely need that. Of course before that, I didn't realize I actually had to turn the knob so when I thought I turned it on, I really didn't. Why yes, I am blonde, why do you ask?

I guess we have some that say they get really warm (a.k.a. hot) and others that say they don't even get very warm. Too early for me to respond on the F Type, mine's a 2018 R model with under 200 miles on it, picked it up new last week. But, what I can add to the conversation, my previous three cars were a 2013 GTR, a 2016 Z06 Corvette and a 2016 Challenger Hellcat. All came with heated and cooled seats, and there in lies the problem. Prior to "cooled" seats, the heated seat electric element was laid in the padding just below the seat cover....it got warm fast and in many cars, it could truly could roast ya. On my 3 prior cars mentioned, all had heated and cooled seats. In those, the heating element laid first, then the seat cooling grid and then padding and finally the seat cover, thus somewhat shielding that heat from the person sitting in the seat. I don't really mind the "just warm" seats all that much, but my wife reminds me of it all of the time....she likes it hot!

Thanks for the answers folks. I'm inclined to think there is something wrong. I picked our car up in November and in the spirit of I bought a convertible to drive it with the roof down not up ethos was doing exactly that. In temps of around 0 to 1c there didn't seem to be any heating in the seats.....now we are into spring time and there is no perceivable difference. I have had the car running in the garage with both seats on 3 and they do get warm, but sitting in the drivers seat it is tepid at best. Maybe a loose wire. They are however nowhere near as hot as the XF that I borrowed.
The dealer has agreed to lend me a demo convertible so I can do a direct comparison.....time will tell !

Might be worth having the dealer check them out. If I were dress slacks (material not as thick as denim), anything over one bar for heat literally burns the material. Denim takes the heat so it can set it has high as I can stand but rarely use three bars for anything more than just a few minutes before turning it down to two bars.

Just an update to my response, above. My wife and I had a chance to check out the heated seats last evening....just like the other cars I owned with the "heated and cooled seats", they're poor. They really don't heat up much at all, probably a little better than the Z06 and equal to the GTR. It's clearly been my experience you can't get to there from here as long as the "cooled" seats are part of the equation.

2. I had cooled and heated seats on my old 2010 XFR and believe me, when I turned the heating on they got real hot real fast!

We were out yesterday and there is defiantly a fault, the pax seta was roasting, much to my wifes delight, the driver seat heated by me rather than the other way round !
Back to the dealer we go

They do have cooled seats....certainly my MY17 400S does and that bit works...it is however a very odd sensation, like sitting on a cold puddle as the cold seeps through to your clothes!

Anyways the F Type is back at the dealers, the A\C heater issues are the same as before after a month of "fixing" it and they have the seats to rip apart.....not a happy bunny. I took the car back today, left it running and outside and got the service manager to come out and see the issues I'm having......so fingers crossed....or they can have it back and I'll swap it for the R8 spyder in the Audi dealers next door
