I'm also wondering about that. And how about the heated windscreen (option), is it in use "if needed" - thus no user interference?

This my last conversation with Porsche support today, they don't know how it works. I will come back.

Dear Mr. Johannesson,

thank you for your patience.

Following your message, I have forwarded the details to our technical team for review. In order for them to accurately analyse the situation, they have kindly requested that you perform the following test on the vehicle’s seat heating functions:

1. Activate all seat heating functions and set them to the highest mode.
2. Within the climatization settings of the My Porsche App (MPA), ensure that all seat heating options are selected.
3. Prior to departure, activate the climatization command.
4. Carefully verify that all seat heaters are switching on and that the seats are warming up as expected.
5. 
   Completing this procedure will provide the technical team with crucial information to assess the performance and functionality of the seat heating system.

I can’t tell if this thread is about a complaint that the heating isn’t working as expected, or about how to heat the seats through the app.

In my phone app in the “pre-climate” section I can select each seat to heat individually and the precondition temperature. Selecting the driver seat automatically also selects the steering wheel. I can confirm this works and my steering wheel is toasty when I arrive at the car.

I have the latest version in the car and app. The issue is about the remote climate control via the app not working. With the app I can turn on and set the heat. But then I can't seem to control the seat heating. Today we tested this on a demo Porsche Macan at the Porsche Center. We didn't get any heat in the seat on it either.????

Mine (2025 4) works exactly this way also.
