If anyone has a D2 and would care to run the front heated seats when the car is cold for 5 mins, without sitting in them, should prove my point...
If yours is not working, it could just be old and tired, the heating pad can deteriorate over time and stop working.

Yep, no sensors in front seats. Both will heat up irrespective of occupancy.
Rear seats in '00 S8 have microswitches in them to detect occupancy and heat seats up.
Possibly a broken wire in one of the pads?
