Concerning Heated Steering Wheel
Hi all;
Love to know it anyone here has added a heated steering wheel to their S550. (4Matic if it matters).
I am up near Boston and I know what is coming. I have a new to me S550 with 83,000 miles. Seems to have everything but no heated steering wheel.
I would love to have that. I suspect it is hard to understand if you do not live in the cold but it is so lovely to touch and steer a wheel that is warm.
Anyone know anything about that?
LOVE some input.

My S600 came with heated steering wheel. I use it in our mild Winters here. I find it gets just a bit too hot and always end up turning it back off after about ten minutes. Although after ten minutes here, the car is pretty warmed up and the hot wheel is no longer really needed. You could always turn it back on. Just my two cents.

I have this factory option on my s550 4 matic . You will like it if you can find a way. Besides the heating elements in the wheel, there’s a switch on a stalk mounted to the column underneath the turn signal stalk. My opinion is you would need to replace your wheel and steering column trims. Then there would be the issue of wiring harness for power and fuses,etc. Perhaps a SAM would need to be updated with software to let it know there’s a new capability in the car. ? Might be possible given resources of parts and an Indy I doubt that a dealer would touch this.

odd, I saw when we did some updates the SCN coding and print out said I had heated steering wheel, the garage said no wood effect has heating and mine has never worked, so that's a little strange (I saw the other post after I wrote that thought, that some think it does heat - anyway never touch the leather so its a bit pointless)

Without digging into it looks as though it may not be that involved. If interior is not black need VIN to provide color code.

My CL has beautiful piano lacquer black wood and black leather wheel and it’s certainly heated on leather portions. CL of course, the 2-door S-Class, so no different systems.

No switch to turn on the heated wheel but it says it has it, and coded to on
I noticed looking about the other day heated screen it has is coded to OFF and doesn't work anymore (so they don't even know which thing to turn back on coding a specific vehicle from a list in Germany they made when they built it...
Oddly one SAM update enabled a feature the manual says it has, but it never worked. hill hold assist now active 10 years after they made it....
Ford screen wash - squirt water, wait a few millisecond's and wipe, then have a tidy up wipe after to catch any drips (which it almost doesn't make). Mercedes scratch the dry screen for a wipe and a half before any water comes, wear out the wiper blades, don't do a tidy up wipe - after allowing 6 gallons of water caught on the wiper arms. Stop get out and do it manually...
