Heated steering wheel doesn't work
The heated wheel doesn't work on my newly purchased 2012 S63. The light on the stalk comes on, but the steering wheel doesn't heat up at all. Does anyone else have this issue, or solved this issue? Any help is appreciated.

Thanks, I found that out after posting this thread. The leather section still doesn't appear to get warm though. Is the heating noticeable, or is it very subtle?
I poked around in the SAM fuses, etc, and it doesn't look like an obvious repair. Has anyone repaired their heated wheel? I'm curious what parts were replaced or repaired.

Can anyone confirm if a relay should open or close in the SAM when the heated wheel is engaged? I don't hear anything, but I do hear a relay when I move the wheel position.

I would check to see if the heating connector is attached which will require removing the air bag and using STAR to clear the resulting fault code.

Yes, it was unplugged (no clue why). Disconnect the battery and take part the steering wheel to see the plug. I forgot if you have to unplug the airbag to get to it, but if you do, keep in mind that the car will throw an airbag code even if you unplug it with the battery disconnected.

the ONLY package that makes sense is the BenzNinja setup... the rest is just virus infected old junk, no info on the right VCI and its so mad you'll never understand how to do anything in the exciting arena with any merc - the value is the support ( the tool on its own is more or less useless - and no huge community of how, like there is for other brands - and even if you think there is - the reality is its just liars and fools keeping all the knowledge to themselves - the only thing with BMW, is 100.000 people have all tried before you and across 6 different forums and after year's worth of research you have a small clue on how to tackle some of the most simple jobs like enabling Bluetooth )

he advertises on this forum nearly every week...
https://mbworld.org/forums/s-class-w...ce-coding.html
I don't think he does Personal Messages on the forum... he has a job to do fixing 99.9% of every merc ever made (as the dealers certainly don't have a clue)

in post 2, konigstiger shows a load of documents about the operation of the heated wheel - aka - SA Code 443 HEATED STEERING WHEEL
if you use a tool like this https://www.lastvin.com/ it lists that optional extra on cars that have it... But I can't find 443 in Xentry under a list of features on the car.
please could someone with this heated steering wheel option please scan their CGW and see if Lenkredheizung or Heater steering wheel is listed... and if so please post any info about which CGW is on your car with the Software its running

Heated steering wheels are one of the more useless features carmakers have come up with along with headlight washers. If it's 20 degrees out, anybody with common sense is going to be wearing gloves.
