Heated steering wheel

Any members know anything about converting standard steering wheel to heated version.
was a heated steering wheel ever available as an option?
Is it possible to upgrade?

My old Dad used to say " keep a pair of gloves in the car for cold mornings" - there is even a place to keep them called the "glove box" . 3 x FL1 2 manual + 1 auto
5 x FL2 4 manual + 1 auto

I don't understand why you would want to keep the steering wheel in the glove box in the first place Confused No Longer the owner of a 2013MY Fuji White GS

Like CG I am used to the cold. As a road cyclist I sometimes get to the point of pain due to cold extremities. However, the heated steering and seating is something I would now not go without. The difference it makes to driving on cold mornings is staggering. I too was a doubter before trying it, not any more, best thing since heated seats Very Happy FL2 Metropolis, Loire Blue, ebony/ivory

Heated wheel and seats are the way to go, wouldn't be without either. FL2 SD4 Metropolis Auto Santorini Black / ivory completely stock.

It's true that light travels faster than sound, some people look quite intelligent until you hear them speak.


Stop global winging.

I was suprised that yours is a GS but has heated steering wheel. Apparently the previous lady owner who lives in Scotland must have specified as an extra. Do you know that custombilt has gone?

Cold, tha does not know what cold is, Its cold when you sleep in a mountain tent at -40C, Tent, Tent bloody lucky, when I was a lad ..................................

Do I need a heated steering wheel ? Not a deal breaker. should I have paid more attention at school, maybe as I could have written up some of those adventures and made a few quid and yes it really was -40C. FL2 MY10 TD4 GS traded in at 2 years
