Re: Clicking seat heater controllers

[John Cunningham <johnc@together.net>]

I am pretty sure that the new cars have a 'swing' range like that.  On my old 4K the seat heaters seemed to stay
consistently on, and if on '6', until your bum was branded with an image of the 'quattro' seat stitching.  In my A4 on the
other hand, the heaters noticably kick on and off like an electric baseboard.  Kind of prefer the old way actually -- with
the new car the seat gets too cold, then real toasty, then cold, then toasty, etc.  Suppose there's any kind of relay
interchangability there for retrofitting?
