Difficult to access heated seats

On most cars you can push one button to turn on the heated seats. In the ionic 5 you first have to touch the climate control then the front warmer control, then finally touch the heated seat control. It would be convenient if there was a way to set up a shortcut to take you directly to the heated seats.

Same goes for the heated steering wheel.
 
I’m one of the rare souls that purchased a plain RWD SE, but the SE does have a haptic “button” labeled “warmer” on the HVAC controls that I can use to get directly to seat heaters.

New software update enables voice command to control heated seats and steering wheel.
 
It works unless I have my phone with me then it connects to Siri, and she says I can't do that. How do I connect to the car voice command when I have my phone with me?
 
I haven’t tried it myself yet but I believe if you just use a short button push instead of the long one to connect to Siri, that should work.
 
Hooray!! That's it, a short press gets voice commands for the car a long press gets you to Siri.

Thank you

Totally convenient but I guess Hyundai wants the ability to upcharge you for a GV60 to get that common sense functionality of an actual button for heated/cooled seating and heated steering. :(

This would matter less if the heated wheel/seats remembered their status when the car was shut off and back on. I don't really know if it does. Does it?
 
Nope. Unfortunately it is default set to level 3 each time you initially turn it on. If you use voice commands you have to say “ turn on seat warmer” first and a separate command to say “ seat warmer level 1 ( or 2)”. Same thing with the passenger seat.
I would like to think this could be fixed with a software update in the future if enough people brought it to their attention.
