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!

 

NO WASH!!! Haha thanks for your response.

 

Be Prepared for them to not know how to fix it BUT they will research it and figure it out

 

Gotcha. Thanks Brotha.

 

since yall on the topic of the heated steering. i noticed my 13 heated steering only heats up at the 3 and 9 oclock areas. anyone eles having the same result?

 

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.

 

WOW that sucks!


and here i thought maybe its still warming up.
lol wow what a disappointment.

i also have a 13 x5, i hit that heated steering button and my god is that think hot!
its hot all the way around the entire steering wheel!

 

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?

 

I have AWD, non-F Sport and have heated steering wheel.

 

yeah i have a awd non f too with heated steering. i think its the cold package that you need to get.

 

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?
