Add Heated Steering Wheel to 2015

Has anyone looked into adding a heated steering wheel to a 2015 C300? I have had it in the past and really miss it in this car.

I have seen some mention of a rear heated seat controller. Is that try as well? I might start keeping my eye out at a couple junk yards around here for a nicely rear-ended C300.

Adding heated wheel kindof challenging - since there is so much electronics and airbag nested inside your existing wheel.

On Rear Seat - any competent aftermarket shop can add Heated Elements to the Rear two outboard seats - they can review with you where they will be able to put the aftermarket seat switches which are ovalized small rocker switches about 1" long and 3/8" wide - remind the installed about the fold down feature on the rear seat back - or they might not catch that in your C-Sedan.

Keep the beat !

you just buy a new mercedes steering wheel likely from the S-class or one of the SUVs. it has a heating element in it already.

Sport steering wheels for the C-class is the same as the S-class (and CLS, A, GLA).... just different materials. I suppose you didn't know most steering wheels can interchange between the various models.

Well... frankly the W205 C-Class and W221 S-Class wheels here in the US do not inter-change -

I'm going to keep my eyes peeled for a salvage yard. I haven't been able to find any steering wheels on Ebay with a heating element, so this will get moved to the back burner with a completion goal of next fall.

I'm fully aware of the cheap looking steering wheel covers Thanks, but that doesn't scream Mercedes to me!

I usually have my motherinlaw go out on cold mornings and rub herself all over the stearing wheel to warm it up for me..the only problem is it makes it smell like a cat pee bag lady in my car

Fairly simple if you can find the parts :
- steering wheel with heat
- steering combination switch with heat knob

There are tonnes on eBay and will probably cost you $1000 for salvaged or used parts.

Currently on my diy list 👍

W221 is a much older generation but what about the W222?
