Heated/Cooled Seat - led lights

[db6]

Does anyone else think the led lights for the heated/cooled seats are too dim? On a bright day, I can barely see them. Same for the park distance control.

No problem here, even in the Texas sun.

Never had a problem.

Noproblimo here either.

Definitely too dim for me, always have to use my hand to block the sun to see it clearly.

No issue for me either.

Nope, zero problems here and been using them quite a bit this summer.

Anyone out there ever thought that if the seat is HOT that the seat heater is on :=)

not a problem here in the blazing s. cal sun.

I find I really don't need to look at the led indicator anyway, just hit the vented seat button at startup and it begins in level three, press it again and it is in two, etc.

Too dim for me also. The wife can't see them either in passenger seat

Thanks for the reply. Would you mind taking a pic of yours lit up? I'm wondering if different build dates may have this issue.

It also could be how your seat is positioned putting your head in a different position than others. Just a thought. As noted above, Press it once it is on high, twice for medium, three times for low and a fourth time to turn it back off. I snapped a couple of pictures for you. See a Post #16 below.

Here is a couple of pics I just snapped of the Heated/Cooled Seat switch for you. Hope this helps...

Thanks for post the pics! It looks about the same as mine - maybe I just need glasses!

I agree that the LED lights are hard to see in the sun light. It would be better to have indicators somewhere in the dashboard or Nav screen so you don't have to take your eyes off the road. Just imagine having an accident because you want your butt cooler

Agreed - it is the glare that causes them to wash away. In the daytime, I typically hold my hand over them to see at what level they are set.

Personally I can see them in those pictures just fine. In cases of direct sunlight - would it be so hard to cup one's hand over the button for a half second? Once you do, glance at it and realize where the setting is - it will be easy to roll through the rest of the settings simply by counting button presses, no?
