Can the Dynon PFD be 'programmed' somehow to warn me that my seat heater(s) are on? I'd like to avoid a separate idiot light if possible.

The short answer is yes.

Look at the EMS section of the install manual to create an “on” widget.

I was hoping that was true. Obviously, I haven't studied the manual enough, yet.

One of the great surprises is that there are a number of large detailed manuals that we need to be familiar with, and that they often get revised in mid-build. It's a time and brain sink....

Don’t forget the resister.

Simply put a wire between the seat heater switch and a contact input of the EMS, but per a note from Dynon, put a 10K resister in-line from the switch and EMS. This will drop the input voltage to the contact input, as you only needs 5 volts to change the state of the widget. It will take 12 volts, but lower is better.

Easy to do. Good luck.
