Heat Seats, Steering wheel warmer and Venting Issues

[vraa]

My totally unscientific take is my OT steering wheel heater isn’t as warm as on the Macan that it replaced. That said, it is fine. Only has front seat heaters and they also work fine. Just finished a hike in -2 degree chill factor weather and hands and butt warmed right up when I got back the vehicle (which I remote started about 7 minutes from the trailhead).

Wish remote start app could turn on seat heaters and steering wheel heaters like my Tesla

You can set that on the car screen.

If you swipe up on the start/lock/unlock portion in the lexus app, press on climate and you can turn all that on.

Same here with lack of heat on steering wheel and seats. If it can’t be adjusted I can live with it but my wife’s 2022 BMW X5 has really heated seats and steering wheel that I need to turn down or off pretty quickly. I’d prefer that problem over what I have with my more expensive GX 550 OT+. Toyota/Lexus are you listening?!

Lame heat from seats, steering wheel, and vents. Other than that it’s great.

I needed to put in a brand engagement request to get this feature flag turned on in my app! Minor issue, quick fix!

Did you get the “cold weather package”? I pick my Lux+ up on Saturday and told them I wanted the permanent fix done to my seats that is causing the massage function to stop working and I notified them about the problem with the weak heat on seats and steering wheel and said I wanted to make sure the problem was resolved BEFORE I pick up. We live 3.5 hours from our dealer and it’s the last thing I want to deal with. I don’t know why dealers don’t have a designated person following this forum to stay on top of issues. Proactive vs reactive = happy customers! I paid for the cold package so I wonder if that is the issue or those having the issues didn’t get the cold package? Either way, it shouldn’t be a problem to begin with.

Luxury + owner here and am finding the heated steering wheel and seats not offering much heat at all. I've customized "my settings" to +2 (more heat) and I still don't feel much warmth. Anyone else having this issue? Am I missing something?

I also found that the air vents blow cold or hot air sometimes even when the blower (and everything) is turned to off. You guys having that issue as well?

Did you get the “cold weather package”? I pick my Lux+ up on Saturday and don’t want to deal with this issue. We live 3.5 hours from the dealer so I told them about this problem and the issue with the weak massaging function as well and said the permanent fix needs to be done before we pick up, but we shall see! I did pay the extra for the cold package so I don’t know if that will help or if it’s still an issue.

Nope, the cold package doesn't help the issue.
