Heated car seats are well known. They all use electric heating elements.

This idea is to use the vehicle's air heating system to duct warm air into porous seats. Warm air would exude from them.

The advantage is to use cheaper energy (waste engine heat vs. alternator amps) and to improve the drying ability of seats.
