Question about heated seats

[osxcode]

Noticed today that the heated seats heat up the bottom, then about 10 minutes later, you start to feel a little something in the back (or is this mental placebo?)

Is it me or does the seat back take awhile to get warmed up?

There is a delay, but the perception is relative to the weather outside. When it's 10 degrees F outside, it seems to get warmer faster, just because anything is an improvement!

I have noticed that too. I was under the assumption that the heated seats work in conjunction with the outside temperature that the car measures.
