or you can take the leather off, and sit directly on top of the heating pad with your underwear on.

I had 2 I30's before I bought my '02 max and they were both the same way. In my wife's SUV we just start the car, turn on the seats, and when we get in a few minutes later they're nice and toasty.
I complained to Nissan many years ago just to see what they would say and they claimed that the seat sensor is some kind of safety precaution. Maybe there's a way to override the sensor that knows if there is weight in the seat so that they will turn on with just the heated seat switch??

my seat problly takes about 5 minutes or so before i feel it getting warm =/ but my steering wheel gets warm after 15-20 seconds or so. so cal weather don't get as cold as other states so i hardly use the heated seats. tho the heated steering wheel comes in handy for those cold mornings when my hands are cold. i noticed when my hands are warm the rest of my body feels warm so i don't need the heated seats hah

It is a safety precaution and you should NOT mess with it.
In regards to the original question. NO there is not really a SAFE way to do this. you can lock the weight sensor to get the seats to heat without you in them, but you may want to consider the reprecussions for this. I have NO IDEA how the circuit is set up, but if it doesnt care if you are in the seat you may bypass a safety switch. i dont know. RESEARCH this first.

I have family and friends who have owned Ford's, Mazda's, VW's, and Honda's with heated seats and none of them required someone to be in the seat before it would start to heat up. It makes the heated seats pointless. Same thing goes for my wife's Mercury, we turn on the switch and come back a few minutes later to a nice toasty seat.
