    Note that the "HI" position of the heated seats will heat a greater area than the "LO" setting.

    That might be pretty hard, as there is a minimum distance from camera to object. I had to take the picture of the steering wheel from the back seat.

    I may be able to do the seats from the side, outside the car looking in.

    I'll see what I can do after work today.

    I couldn't get low to come on. It requires both that the car be on, and that someone be seated in the seat.
    The car kept turning off with no one in the car.

    Here is the charging cord.

    The orange yellow on the car is like that because I was standing near, and my radiant body IR was reflecting.
    So the orange wire is at a high of 64.5, and the garage low was 43.9
