HVAC_SEAT_TEMPERATURE

What it is

Seat heating/cooling

The maxInt32Value and minInt32Value in VehicleAreaConfig must be defined. All integers between minInt32Value and maxInt32Value must be supported.

The maxInt32Value indicates the maximum seat temperature heating setting. The minInt32Value must be 0, unless the vehicle supports seat cooling as well. In this case, minInt32Value indicates the maximum seat temperature cooling setting.

This property is not in any particular unit, but in a specified range of relative temperature settings.

This property is defined as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ_WRITE, but OEMs have the option to implement it as VehiclePropertyAccess.READ only.

How the ID is built

A property ID is a 32-bit value packing four fields. Reading 0x1540050b apart:

FieldMaskValueMeans
Group0xf00000000x10000000SYSTEM
Area0x0f0000000x05000000SEAT
Type0x00ff00000x00400000INT32
Ordinal0x0000ffff0x0000050b0x50b

Reading it from an app

CarPropertyManager mgr = (CarPropertyManager)
        car.getCarManager(Car.PROPERTY_SERVICE);

int value =
        mgr.getIntProperty(VehiclePropertyIds.HVAC_SEAT_TEMPERATURE, areaId);

This property can be read and written, though an OEM may implement it as read-only. It fires a callback whenever the value changes.
