I thought the driver's side seat heated both bottom and back, is this correct? My back isn't getting warm.

 

Had the same problem AND the dealer had the balls to tell me the seatback was not heated because of the airbag sensor! I told him that applied to the passenger seat only. He grabbed a tech (?) that was walking by and he also said that the drivers seatback was not heated. I walked over to the parts department and got the part # for the heating pad for the drivers seatbach and proceded to tell the advisor & tech that if they make the part, it must be heated. Was fixed under warranty the following week. Everytime I have to deal with the Acura dealer makes me like my wifes Lexus that much more.

that's what I thought. Sorry about your hassle :-(

 

wtf the seatback should heat too? damn i need to get that fixed!!!

 

Just so you folks are clear on this ,the driver's seat has both a heated back rest and seat bottom ,the passenger seat only has a heated seat bottom .The reason for the lack of a heated back rest is due to the OPDS (Occupant Position Detection System ) in the passenger seatback for the passenger seat side airbag .

I think it says it in the manual.
I've noticed that if you use the lumbar adjuster thing at all, that part gets hotter than the rest of the back, and it's actually uncomfortable, so if you use the lumbar support thing all the time, you'll find yourself turning the heaters off manually instead of leaving them in low as the manual says.
Also, I think (unless mine is broken, too), it's just the bottom half of the back that's heated, not the top part so you don't get heat at shoulder level or anything.

 

All- thanks for the input, maybe I should actually read the manual before posting next tiime...

 

take it to the dealer
