I dont know if this is baked. I got the idea from the hot fluids post - its kind of a continuation. We could probably heat a lot more water than just the windshield wiper fluid if we tap all the engine heat. Why not pipe some of that under the seats? Comfort & a water cooled engine at once.
This
could be taken further into a cooling mode function where you use the cars speed to evaporate water and produce chilled water (kind of like an HVAC cooling tower).
Hot Fluids!

By the time the engine's warm, the seat's probably already warmed up. |

And if you own a V12 supercar... "Holy crap, what my momma gave me just melted and stained my Lamborghini Murcielago! Oh, damn, that thing is really freakin' hot!" Here. I cooked these fishbones for you on a Ferrari F50's headrest. |

[croissantz] I'm assuming you can temper the heat, and not necessarily run the water the same temperature as the engine. Most boiler's run at well - boiling point. That doesn't mean that the room they are heating up needs to run at the same temperature. |

Umm... Buy a real car and you will get heated seats and cooled seats. |
