Heated steering wheel
So my heated steering wheel is weak to say the least. The heat comes out patchy ie it's warm at top of wheel, non existent in middle section and warm again at bottom, but even where it's warm, it's like warm.
My dealer says it's fine and passes the diagnostic tests, but wondered what others experience was and how hot theirs got? First world problems for sure, but any input would be appreciated. |

Thanks folks, I'm going to pursue this with dealer, it's definitely not right, noticeable difference to the demo car I had and the X6M courtesy car I had recently:

Mine gets quite warm. Way more warm than the seats. And it's even all around.
I do wish I could code the seats to get as hot as I can in my F15. They get borderline hot which is great for my lower back and long drives haha.

Mine starts out a little uneven, which is not a big deal. Probably a steel backbone underneath plastic and leather, and as the heat gets conducted around, it evens out within a minute or two. Anyway, once it's heated up, it's more than enough heat. I have it set to come on automatically if the outside temp is less than 35, and I usually turn it off within a couple of minutes because it gets a little warmer than I like.

Load of tosh, basically they don't care! Seats are average, I can live with the seats even though they are not that hot, correction the passenger seat is, driver is not. But the steering wheel is awful and that bugs me that they are digging their heels on that. |

On ID6 at least you can configure auto heated seat activation based on outside temp.Can set the temp level and distribution between thigh and back.
For the steering wheel heating it's only auto on depending on outside temp. It's on or off. Doesn't seem to have a level you can adjust? Maybe ID7/8 has more functions. |
