Retrofit Heated Steering Wheel

[801802971]

I am getting old and my Mk III Superb and although it is a Lauren & Klement model, it does not have a Heated Steering Wheel.  I am getting old and now get really cold hands.  Does anyone know if I can get a heated steering wheel retro fitted please?

 

Many thanks people.

Yes - of course it's possible.

 

I haven't yet worked out how - but in other cars you'd typically have to replace the clock spring on the steering column, plus replace the steering wheel itself with one that has a heated element. The car would also have to be re-programmed using VCDS.

 

No other buttons should be required as it's activated via a menu on the infotainment screen.

It can be done yes, you need to have heated front seats already.

 

New squib, control module and steering wheel. Then its a job of running all new wires to where they need to go and coding the body control and hvac modules. I do offer it as a service if you didnt want to do it yourself

What kind of cost are we looking at for this mod ?

Just depends where you source the parts from...

 

 

Just as an example, this shop charges £650 for the parts on a similar aged Golf: https://www.vw-retrofit.co.uk/product/golf-mk7-heated-mfsw-complete-set/

Like the guy above said. Squid most likely will need to be brand new and steering wheel you’ll be lucky to find a second hand one so price would vary hugely. If you were really interested you can drop me a message and I can actually price it up accordingly but unless you’re willing to go £500+ Fitted then sorry to say you’ll be disappointed

A pair of gloves, heated if really needed, would be somewhat cheaper.

Yeah I wouldnt pay that more interested in price than seriously considering. Car heats up that fast anyway I just point the vents at my hands

Many thanks for all the replies people, thank you for the offer to fit it but London is a bit far to go from Edinburgh.  There is an independant VW dealer near me, I will probably try him and see what he says.

 

Thanks again guys
