Brett, Jeremiah,

this _might_ be true for the US. In Germland you have the option to either
order the heated front seats or all four. And, at least my old '88 type 44
avant did have heated rear seats. But is was setup with something called
"cab controll". The drivers seat had a single control. The passenger seat
plus the rear two seats were controlled by another controller. And there was
no magic switch checking for occupance in the rear.
