Who has heated steering wheel on a GLC63?

What year and options?

I was pretty sure the heated steering was standard but i have learned otherwise.

for me:
2019 63 SUV
regular leather steering
upgraded leather seats in red pepper with ventilation
Driver assistance package
Multimedia Package
HUD.

I cannot think of another package that would affect the removal of heated steering.

No heated wheel for me.
‘19 GLC63
Black Nappa Leather
Standard steering wheel
Every option package plus a few stand-alone options

Also, the screenshot from youtube has a button that neither of us seem to have. The bank of buttons above the headlight switch. From left to right mine is: steering assist, lane keep assist, parking sensors, 360 camera view, blank, blank. The screenshot shows only one blank spot. Maybe the two are linked somehow?

OK. I don’t have HUD. So not related. Still odd. And I don’t see it mentioned in the configurator online.
I wonder if that’s something that the coupes get the the SUV doesn’t.

This 2018 review is for a SUV and has it.

perhaps they removed it for 2019?

That makes me wonder if they redesigned the steering wheel, leaving out the heating element or just wiring/control removed.

From what I gather from MB specs is the heated steering wheel does come standard. If you do however upgrade the steering wheel to the flat bottom style (AMG), they do NOT offer heated controls for any of these.
Viper would you happen to have the round steering wheel ?

I was very disappointed to find I do not to have the heated steering wheel. The 2018 specs list it as a standard item, but for 2019 I learned yesterday you have to order the round steering wheel to get heating. Was also disappointed not to be able to get heads up display.

The service advisor at Mercedes told me it was actually not available....not sure if he was wrong or not, but that's what he said.

Weelee is correct. The AMG flat bottom steering wheel doesn't have the heated option available. Real big bummer.

the round bottom steering is not an option for a 63, so we can say it is not available then. it wa very much available and standard in 2018 from the 2018 cars I saw online.

this is looking like the case. Funny they announced the removal of some options like rear sunshade officially but left out something a important as heated steering.

I am strting to feel like ioverpaid for this car now. If i wanted compromises, i would have just leased the Stelvio quad.

Flat bottom AMG wheels do not have heat. That’s across all models. I’ve heard the alcantara wheel gets less cold, but I have the nappa wheel. It’s disappointing but not a deal breaker for me, obviously. The HUD option is a nice to have, I have it, but I read they had supplier issues. You won’t miss it.

The 2018 did not have the option. I have a fully loaded, fully optioned 2018. There was never an option for a heated steering wheel. I even checked with dealer. It may have been a pre production option but they dropped it. Same with cabin fragrance. Pre production option but removed from options when production started. Sorry, you’ll have to give up on the heated steering wheel. You’ll still love ever bit of the car.

I'm guessing that it will be an option for the facelift models.

~ I opted for the heated steering wheel option on my 43 and it's nice but if I had the choice over the fatty steering wheel... I’d take that amazing 63 steering wheel... 😊

Optional on 43s but you have to get a round wheel. I’ve had heated wheels and they’re ok. For me it was a no brainer that flat bottom>heated.

My 2018 has Cabin Fragrance but no heated wheel - it shows up as standard on the MB website but you can't get one.
