How fast heated seats getting warm?

L322 owners, how quickly you get heated seat warm after swich it on? I need to wait quite long time, maybe 5 or even more minutes before I feel some warm. I think its normal on L322, but never know.
Also I hate climate control stupid starting algorythm, blower start blowing with very long delay, half minute or something. Hello, I have no time for waiting, I need jump in and drive! My windscreen need blower right now, not when I already arrive and have driven with low visibility.

Hi,

Firstly a bit of a numpty driving off of you don't have good visibility, if Joe law catches you you'll get done, not to mention all the kids on the way to school you'll not be able to see clearly. People like you are a menace and should not be on the road.

On the defrost, you can hit the "max defrost" button, or use direction buttons to the screen to clear quicker.

Seats do take a while to get hot, mine take 3 to 5 mins, there. Fuji White / Jet 2012 4.4 TDV8 Westminster

If you have the heated and cooled seats, they take around 5 minutes to get warm and 10 minutes to get roasting hot.

You can use the front heated screen to help with clearing. You can also use the Webasto. 2015 Range Rover Autobiography 4.4 SDV8

It takes a little time when you have the thick leather seats. Like in the Vogue model.
You probably have a Webasto auxiliary heater that starts when you start the car, you can buy a remote and a receiver if you don't have the receiver already in your car. Then you only need a remote.

My seats are warm in less than a min I’d say. No issues with demisting either when pressing max. Never move a car ( whatever it is) unless I have you have full visability. 2012 TDV8 Vogue (L322)

Sounds like you need either a remote start up controller or you need to set a remote startup in the screen settings... Heated & cooled seats take longer to heat than just electric heated elements in the lower specced models... Thumbs Up

As above, cooled seats use a different system to heat the seats to a seat that doesn’t have cooling. My TDV8 with cooled seats takes a good few mins to get warm, whereas my previous TD6 got warm very quickly as that had a proper heating element.

To get everything clear quickly use the Max Defrost button on the dash, only takes a minute or so to clear most misting.

Ok, good to know about seats its normal.
About blower, I didnt mean defrost, I mean fog inside. I just need blower start blowing immidietly, not waiting half minute (waiting for what?).
FBH I use in cold morning to pre-heat the engine, this thing working fine. But during trip, I need to make small stop, visit shop for 15min for example. I have wet dog in the car, snowy skies, lot of moisture on the floor. Of course when I come back glas is quite foggy. You can say leave AC MAX on during short stop, but its not working in 90% of cases due engine temperature is not enough. Useless option.
But still, all what I need just blower start blowing as fast as possible. But there is some stupid delay for half minute at least.
AC MAX option should be adjusted to much lower engine temperature. Its almost useless with 0 -5° and compleatly useless with -10° and lower outside temperature in urban mode.
I know we are talking about senseless things, it is what it is and there is nothing to do with that unortunately.

The system tries to be intelligent, where if you have a hot temperature set, it will tend not to blow cold air out as that’s not what is selected, so when engine is cold you will notice a delay whilst the water heats up a bit. Mine is similar when cold started.

Don’t think I’m wrong. Try it with the temp set to cold, will prob blow then.
