Heated Steering Wheel?

I wish I'd specced it...and the auto tailgate

Tempted to consider the conversion to heated. All looks simple enough in the video demo, but damned expensive as retrofit. Alternative is a decent pair of driving gloves hehe!

BTW on a cold morning it is a great option to have if your car sits outside overnight. I've had it on my last 3 cars and won't even look at another car that doesn't offer it in the future. It's another of those "you think it's not necessary but proves to be indispensable" options like the powered tailgate.

+1 . I dropped the evoque mats from my order (after a discussion with my better half ). we agreed money s better spent on the heated steering wheel as my wife's hands are always cold. I drive the car the majority of the time and find it extremely useful especially with recent drop in temperature. Both my hands are firmly on the steering wheel now not because I'm a careful driver but because it's a true joy to warm my hands. Invaluable . Same with the tailgate. Saw it on other cars and looked cool but having used its not only cool but so convenient. No more having to grab the dirty tailgate to open it!fantastic!...remote closing would be perfect

+1 for me as well. Didn't think I would use it much if at all but so glad I specced it as i often pop it on when I first get in the car. Would definitely spec it again.

Missus is very jealous of it. ...may have to hide my keys in winter.

Mine doesn't warm up at all - I'm guessing it's broken in that case
