- After one minute of 'ON' time, I measured 76.5 F
-Two minutes 'ON' 90.0
-Three minutes 'ON' 97.5
-Four minutes 'ON' 100.5
-end of measurements, Five minutes 'ON' 102.5

I also measured the seat cushion on the passenger side, upon exit at five minutes and it was 103.0. All of these temps are measured in F.
Unfortunately I don't have the ability to do that. Did the temperature reduce after 20 mins or so. I thought it felt different but maybe my hands became accustom to that temperature.
