Any aftermarket steering wheels THAT SUPPORT HEATING FEATURE..?
I've read a ton of posts here and on the other forums about replacement steering wheels but can't sem to locate a single one that supports the Heated Steering Wheel feature... I have Ash Interior w/ Black Birsdeye Maple interior trim so either an All Ash Leather wheel or combo Ash/Birdseye Wood would be OK as long as it has the Sport Palm Swells... Not concerned about paddle shifters as I don't have them now on my '05 W211 E500 4-matic...

Anyone got a clue...?

Most All Aftermarket steering wheels use a OE MB Core ...

So Im sure that IF you contacted the supplier re a heated wheel they would make one for you at a added cost

Re a OE Heated Wheel in wood or leather contact MBENZNL.com

I don't think heated is available with the wood wheel, at least that's what my manual says.

If that's true thats a change MB made for the better, as the older wood/leather heated wheels only had heat in the leather portions, leaving the wood area, where most peoples' hands rest... cold.

No heat under the wood, right? Just under the leather.

If you get a reply, post the results... I sent multiple emails to multiple steering wheel manufacturers and have received no responses yet from anyone...
