I chatted briefly with a fellow today, that claims his 2005 RX330 has a heated steering wheel. He also claims that the dash is different than the standard one--too dark to see it tonight. Apparently, his vehicle was produced in Cambridge,ON. I would love to have this feature on mine- especially on the mornings like today when it was -20 C with the wind chill.
He bought it used imported to Canada from the USA. Anyone?

Its not a factory heated steering wheel, I can tell you that.

Dash--Maybe he has the ML stereo system and that does have a speaker grill right on top of the dash over the nav system

 

Are you sure the guy you talked to did not have a bottle of Whiskey on his hand? Just kidding...

I don't think the heated steering wheel was ever offered on RX. If it does have one, it's most likely an aftermarket. Last time I checked mine, it does not have one.

NO RX has had a heated steering wheel ever

 

does any lexus model have a heated steering wheel?

 

Maby the new 600H or LX570?

 

definately the LS460, 460l and 600hL has the heated steering wheel function. not sure about the LX

 

My RX350 has a heated steering wheel most all the summer months in Arizona...LOL

 

My RX has heated gas and brake pedals

 

Likely has a Stealth Cloaking device, a 600HP V8, and JATO for those quick starts......

 

"The climate controls also have been enhanced on the new LS. Once you set the desired cabin temperature, the system will not only monitor air temperature, it will also monitor the body temperature of the occupants and adjust the outlet temperature to compensate. There is even an optional heated steering wheel."

I read somewhere that that 1999 and up Grand Cherokee some Limited and Overland models also had infrared sensors for the ambient cabin temperature. Where it would monitor the bodies temp instead of the cabin temp or something. Honest to god..
