Can heated seats intensity be raised?

Got an '07 Limited with the factory heated seats. While they do eventually heat up, it takes 10-15 minutes to reach comfort level. Compared to our '11 BMW they are quite weak.
Is there a way to crank up the intensity of the heated seats so they get toasty faster?

cheaper route is buy a set of aftermarket one and set up another switch, that way you can have the oem on or both on at the same time. not sure hot hot it can get, fart some more and you should get warmer.

So the answer is No.
Fair enough.

Check the fuse. The switch will light up and it'll look like the seats are on regardless if they're actually getting power or not.

Mine gets pretty hot pretty fast but had similar symptoms before checking the fuse.

I put solara seat heater elements into my sport edition cloth seats and they heat up fast! Like under one minute fast. So if you wanted to get rid of your leather seats and go cloth then they would feel hotter for sure.

They definitely come on and warm up so not a fuse.
I guess that's just how they are with no hack to crank them up. I can live with it. It's not worth messing around with additional hardware.
Thanks for your input guys.
