Default Heated Seats and Steering Wheel ?

How can i keep my heated seats and steering wheel from automatically shutting off?! In the IS you can hold both heated seat buttons until you hear a beep and this turns off the automatic function and keeps them at the level in which you set them. I tried this in the GS and it does not work!

It's a dealer accessible setting only. Time to make a trip to the dealer!

If you, or anyone else, has any intel to provide on how/where that setting is / if its in techstream, would be appreciated. My dealer can't seem to find it regarding the heated steering wheel.

Unfortunately those are the only areas that are heated.

Yeah, I too find it awkward, but.. nothing you can do. Until you hands are warm enough, you'll keep them on the wheel in a student-style grab :-)

Why was the heated steering wheel only offered on the AWD F-Sport? Do you get the sport steering wheel or the wooden one?

My bad, I didn't phrase my question all that well. What I meant to say was, they do not offer the cold weather package on the RWD F-Sport, but it is offered on the AWD F-Sport. So which steering wheel do you get on the AWD F-Sport with heated steering wheel? The wooden one or the brushed aluminum one?
