How fast does your main seat heat get not and is it very noticeable at setting 5(full). 


Does the rear seat heat require someone to be in the seat (aka a pressure switch). 


If you could check and let me know I'd be grateful so incas see if I have a warranty issue on my new to me '14th.


Thanks.

Easy answer on the rear seat.  No.  However it gets warm a lot quicker with someone sitting on it.  I have never needed to have mine set at anything more than 3 bars and then back to 1 or 2.  But everybody seems to be different presumably because of what you are wearing.

I have only used mine once or twice an it works wonderfully.  Dealer told me to start at max setting for a few minutes and then back down to 1 or 2, depending on the outside temp and your own comfort preference.
