The manual does say Eco Pro does change the climate control systems like AC, however it doesn't feel like the heated seats are part of that (to me).

I had the cloth seat VW, other half has the leather seat VW. For years all I ever heard was the envy of how much warmer my car's heated seats were.

This trip in the new X1 I heard - "Hah! My seats are now warmer than yours!!"

I suspect for most people it's warm enough and fine - but when you can't get to a shower after a day of skiing and you're chilled to the bone - driving home with strong heated seats taking the chill out was such a treat.

The max 3 setting feels like what a 1 setting should be. I can't ever see using settings 1 or 2, it would feel the same as off.
