I have heated seats with alcantara, they have heating but in my opinion the heat is too much, even on level one, too much to keep it always on. How much I know levels are are actually coil numbers if I'm not wrong. Anybody have similar opinion or maybe a solution how to reduce heat?

 

I will look into this, thanks.

Find someone with VCDS or similar tool.

Go to 09 Central Electronics / Security Access: 31347 / Adaptations.

You can change these settings.

Stufe 1-3-5 is for driver's seat level 1-2-3.

Stufe 2-4-6 is for the passenger's seat level 1-2-3

These are my settings (also with alcantara seats) for driver/passanger level 1:

channel IDE06089-ENG115738-Seat heater level current consumption allocation-Sitzheizung Stufe 1 obere Schaltschwelle    adapted from    33.00 °C    to    21.00 °C
channel IDE06089-ENG115737-Seat heater level current consumption allocation-Sitzheizung Stufe 1 untere Schaltschwelle    adapted from    32.00 °C    to    20.00 °C
channel IDE06089-ENG115740-Seat heater level current consumption allocation-Sitzheizung Stufe 2 obere Schaltschwelle    adapted from    33.00 °C    to    21.00 °C
channel IDE06089-ENG115739-Seat heater level current consumption allocation-Sitzheizung Stufe 2 untere Schaltschwelle    adapted from    32.00 °C    to    20.00 °C

After some experimenting I finally set these values for 'always on'. I didn't bother changing level 2 & 3 because I never use them. The seat heats up quickly enough (for me) even with these settings. And I can leave it on for the whole winter. The seat gets just as 'hot' as you can warm it up with your body (with no heating).

 

You can also consider switching on the 'memory function" so you don't need to activate the seat heating manually on every start:

Module 08 / Adaptations

Yes, I just did it with obd11and it works!

For now I just lowered settings of level1 for 10C.

It was set to 33C, no wonder my bottoms was getting on fire😁

Thanks guys for info.

Memory I had already on but how it was too hot it was useless.

Thanks again, some parts of my body will be happy😆

When I had a BMW, it had the option to adjust the heat to cover the base of the seat, and also the back rest. Is anything similar possible with the Octy? I would really prefer a warmer back rather than my bum.

Thanks

If I see this settings, no, there are no separate settings for seat and backrest.

My seats were roasting on my Octavia 3, where I had them as an option on an SE Tech Estate car. Mere seconds on full power and I'd be turning them down to one or two. Strangely enough on current car, a mark 4 SEL, the seats are much, much cooler than the mark 3. I can leave the seats on full power on all of my journeys just now and its comfortable but never too hot. Obviously some variation in how the heated part is setup.

That's true, they are roasting😆, but not anymore, in 4 years I didn't find in any coding list something about seat heating. But that's why we have briskoda🥰

Interestingly, the missus noted that her sister's Golf was much hotter in the seat and I found the below values on a Golf mk7 forum. Seems she was right (as always 😀 )

 

 

Probably the wiring is the same for the Octavia and the seat/backrest temperatures are NOT adjustable separately…

Anyone know the factory settings for heat levels?

I had to laugh at that . Apart from the occasional  sarcastic remark I find most ppl on here to be very helpful. I'm not even going to ask if my car has heated seats bc I cannot even get heat in the front vents. They just blow out cold cold air. To  even suggest that my seats might get warm too, tho a nice thought....we won't go there today.No .
