So old man winter is upon us soon. I noticed the 2015 IS350 F Sport has a heated steering wheel for the AWD model. Anyone know if it's possible to install it in the 14 model and not have to pay +2,000 (actually the quoted installed price from my local dealer)? I had this in my old car and really miss the feature.

 

I think it would be a pretty labor intensive swap, which is probably why the quote was so high. The steering wheel alone is probably a $700 part or something like that.

I purposely waited (and paid more for) a 2015 because I wanted the heated wheel. Now if my car just had memory seats. Grrrr.

 

I wanted to wait but my car was on the verge of croaking so I couldn't wait.

 

Not to hijack the thread, but I wonder how much it would cost to add Park Assist. It seems like a relatively easy install.

 

I'd call your dealer, if you need to put in a bunch of sensors then I'd say it probably won't happen.

 

i'm assuming it would be fairly expensive as adding memory seats in my f-sport
