Heated steering wheel - 2016 HSE Luxury
Seen a few articles on this forum about retro-fitting heated steering wheels lately which got me to thinking:- how do I tell if I already have one fitted to my newly acquired 2016 HSE Luxury and if so, how do I activate it please? The Pleasure Prevention Officer in my household complained it made her hands cold during the frost early yesterday morning and reckons with all the other toys this car has on it, it should a heated wheel as well. Sadly, for once in my life, I have to agree with her.....I'm off to a party with the RNLI tonight. They may not get together very often, but when they do, they certainly know how to push the boat out.

On my MY16 the switch is in the right side of the wheel just behind the phone buttons
Hope that helps a little MY24 Defender 90 X-Dynamic HSE

I've just picked up a My16 lux and it does have a heated steering wheel...toasty fingers 8)
Unfortunately it doesn't have a cubby box cooler I will pop one in before summer.

Yes, I put one in the D3 many moons ago, lots of creaking plastic and flying clips makes your palms sweaty!

Thanks for all the info and image; can confirm it is fitted and works a treat, so SWMBO's fingers are no longer chilly. Shame the same can't be said of her heart.....I'm off to a party with the RNLI tonight. They may not get together very often, but when they do, they certainly know how to push the boat out.
