Hi Dean,
Sorry, but the seats heated and then cooled down all within the time span of listening to one song on the radio, I figured between 3-5 minutes. Both hubby and I placed our hands on the drivers seat and while the seat was no longer hot, the chill was taken out of the leather.
We were wondering if this feature was dependend on outside temperature, maybe the colder the temp, the longer the heat cycle? The outdoor temp was 55° yesterday evening.
