Anyone setup rules for Seat heaters etc?

In my 2020 & series, I was able to configure rules for seat heater, etc. Could set an outside temp for the seat heater(s) to come on, etc. Anyone found the method yet on the G70 I8 system?

I’ve been looking for this option as well. It looks like the default is for heat and cooling to be on all the time, at least that is how it was set in mine. I hope to find the solution soon.

I've only had my car for a few days but from what I've read about iDrive 8 is that no, there are no climate rules anymore like we used to have. Instead, the car tries to be smart and do things for you automatically.

For example, I drove the 760 on Saturday when it was 45F outside and had the steering wheel heating/seat heating set to Low and they didn't kick in. When I changed them to Medium they did.

This morning it was 6F and they both turned on despite being on low. It seems that it takes outside/inside temperature into account when deciding what and when to turn on.

Sadly it's gone. Not sure why.

It’s automatic in my iX and I think it works really well. Heated wheel turns on when it’s cold and not when it’s not cold.
