Heated seat switch control on 2011 Ex?

[LGinIA]

Does anyone know on the 2011 Exporer how the heat control for the front seats operates? Is it the same as my 05 F150 with a timed 1 or 2 setting. Living in a cold northern climate, wife wants a heated seat control like her Lexus which is adjustable and will stay on if desired. Has this Ford control feature changed for the new 2011 Explorer? Thanks

I'm not 100% sure but I do know if you get MyFord touch, you can turn it on/off via the touch screen as shown in this video: Video Link

Heated seats only come with the leather option and also only with the "Driver Connect Package" which includes MyFord touch. More info on MyFord touch is HERE.

Thanks for the reply edge929. I also noted after my post that the MyTouch screen does have touch screen control for the heated seats. It appears to have the same two position control per the icon, although I do not know if the seat heat will stay on if the seat passenger wants to leave it on.
