Heated Seat question are they toasty?? Mine are not

We just picked up our new 07 gt with leather and besides a few small break in bugs it has been great .....with the exception of the heated seats. They appear to only heat up once or twice a day. The dealer tells me they have a temp sensor to shut them off when they reach 28 degrees and that they work fine. My friend has an 07 mazda3 gt w/leather and his seats toast the bunz you can actually tell they cycle. I think the dealer is trying to snow me but I would like some opinions from other people with the heated seats.

So you leave them on all the time? Not good. Isn't there an on/off switch?

yes there is an off switch it just does not appear to me that they are working after the first or second cycle. I have sat in many cars with heated seats and they normally cycle on and off controlled by a thermostat. On cold mornings I like to have them on. After the first time they go on they do not appear to come back on. The behavior of my seats differs from my friends 3 in that his cycle on and off noticeably and mine do not.
