Heated Steering Wheel
Anyone got this? I wonder if it heats up once u started it tho. If it does, then $460CAD is a good deal to keep the hands warm during winter here in Canada. Otherwise, if it takes as long as the heated seats to warm up (which i figured from most other cars that ur body have actually warmed it up b4 the seats warmed up themselves), then i wun bother.

The heated steering wheels do work well,not as fast as you would like them to,but not nearly as slow as heated seats. Be carefull though-I dont know if the slk has the option for a wood steering wheel,but if it does-the wooden part of the steering wheel is NOT heated.

Not available in the US at all. I thought I was spoiled when I got used to heated seats, which all my cars have except the Jaguar (isn't that strange? not available then). The heated steering wheel is about as spoiled as I can imagine. I LOVE it... can't wait to get a car with a heated steering wheel!!! Buy it!!!

Mercedes all the way!
haha, and then there's the heated air-scarf :P
well, i'd imagine the heater will be quite useful on the 55AMG seeing how cold your hands will be after a run in one of those babies
