What about the auto heated seats? Does anyone use that and like it?
I turned it on 18 months ago and haven’t touched the heated seat button again. It comes on when I need it without me doing anything and it turns off when I’m warm. No need the cycle through, use sliders, or knobs.

Driving in a rented Chrysler van up north made me think about the heated seats and steering wheel UI.
The Van had the heated seat and steering wheel button hidden behind a climate menu, it was horrible.
The MachE locked buttons at the bottom are good but it made me realize why the GM Yukon we own is so much better instead of the slider.

MachE can keep the slider, but just update the UI to make it cycle through the settings when you push the button. Slider could go away after X time or when you click elsewhere in the scren no need to have clicking the heated seat button make the slider go away. It would be nice to have the screen buttons work more like a traditional heated seat button.

What about the auto heated seats? Does anyone use that and like it? Conceptually it seems nice but the one time I turned it on the seats stayed warmer than I wanted and I feared it was wasting battery. My wife on the other hand probably would have liked that.
Thanks,
You do know that the new UI uses the volume knob to change the seat heating level, don't you? Also, the fan and temperature.
