So you think that it was -5C (23F) outside, and his car blowing warm air for 13 minutes made his seats feel so hot that he would think they'd been undeniably heated? Maybe I'm being overly optimistic because I want there to be a solution for this, but that doesn't sound reasonable to me. Dry air doesn't transmit heat that well.

Besides that, the back window was clearly defrosted. Internal warm air isn't going to melt that much ice in 15 minutes.
Exactly right on all points. It was freezing out lol I can tell the difference between a heated steering wheel or seats that have been "warmed" by cabin air. If anyone is from Toronto or near Toronto and wants to come witness this, by all means come by. IT IS WORKING EXACTLY HOW I'M SAYING IT'S WORKING.
