Installing heated seats

[DevonMG4]

My Trophy's heating and heated seats / heated steering wheel / AC demisting work really well, clears quickly and it is easy to get a comfortable steady state.

The Trophy has more control over which air vents are operating and it is important to have the AC on to demist.

I typically in the cold winter mornings preheat the cabin with the heated seats on and then use the steering wheel heat when I get into the car.

Does the Trophy give you more control over what vent? From memory the SE will allow individual selection of screen, face & feet - is there more than that?

I had forgotten about the heated steering wheel.

The advantage of having heated seats is consuming much less range...

My understanding is that no range is consumed because the elements would not be on the main traction/high voltage battery.

Technically it would consume range, as power drawn from the LV battery would need to be replaced by power drawn from the HV battery.

I thought it did, but maybe that was a bug on the SE that has since been fixed?

Makes sense! We will only use max 50% on a normal day so hopefully shouldn't make too much of a dent.

It would be interesting if an SE owner with 1100R33 could check (as it has the updated HVAC screen).
