heated steering wheel

Does any one know if the clockspring/sqib on a 2013my freelander supports the heated steering wheel? Smile

There only seems to be one part number shown in Microcat from 11MY on, so it seems likely.

As you have a MY13 vehicle physically the HSW LR041045 will fit - but:

You may also find that you will have to fit - a new HVAC ECU LR039869 and;
If the Rotary Coupler fitted to your vehicle does not show the two heating wires that connect to the HSW you will have to install theses as well to connect to the HVAC.

Take your existing steering wheel off to see if the two wires are there. If it helps, on YouTube "Powerful UK" have a tutorial video showing how to remove the steering wheel safely Exclamation

I've fitted a heated wheel on a new flappy paddle D4. It required a new clock spring - £250 and a new steering wheel - £300.

Release airbag, take off steering wheel.

There was a two wire empty electrical connector sheathed in a land rover foam to the left and back just under the steering column plastics, which you have to loosen to access. The wires from the new clock spring connected up to this. Put everything back, doesn't need any activation or enablement and hey presto you have warmth.

The button lights up. It heats up pretty quickly and stays on for about 15 mins. Nice and toasty on a cold day, but not cheap. That's on a Disco, I'd think its generally the same on a FL, but not one I'd choose to repeat on that car due to cost.

No such luck I am afraid. The only good thing is you can either sell on your old clock spring and wheel or keep it for when you trade the vehicle in. I did the latter.

It's useful, heats up in about half a mile from cold, but don't expect it to be really hot, just pleasantly so. SWMBO likes it more than me TBH. Thumbs Up
