Normal for the seats to reduce in heat. It takes about 5 min for mine to go from 3 to 2 bars and then another 5 and it's down to 1 bar. The radio - sounds like a problem to me. If it happens all the time, you probably want to take it in. Good luck.

I would guess that it's an antenna problem, so ask your dealer to check it out.

The heated seat thing is th way they are......It goes from 3 lights to 2 in 5 mins and then from 2 to 1 in 10 mins and then from 1 to none in 15 mins....so the heated seats stay on for 30 mins
