So I finally tried the seat heater and steering wheel heater several days ago, since it was pretty cold outside, and I'm really disappointed with the results.
The steering wheel heater worked great ... for 10 minutes or so, then the steering wheel became ice cold like the rest of the car, and would not heat up again. I tried turning the switch off and on again (tried twice, first time with a 5 second pause, second time 5 minutes), but no go. I'm guessing it's a thermostat issue, but I'm really hoping that my system is defective, as I find it hard to believe that this is normal.
The seat heaters aren't as warm as my Prius Plug-in, and they seem to stop heating just as fast as the steering wheel, but eventually come back on for a minute or so.
I couldn't find more than 1 or 2 posts complaining about the system, so I'm hoping someone else can confirm this is normal.
