Heated Steering Wheel!
 

OK, I have had heated seats in many of my cars, but the X5 is my first with a heated steering wheel. I gotta say - what an awesome feature on these cold New England mornings!

How did I live w/o a heated steering wheel all these years? :dunno:

Yeah it's great!!!

This has probably been asked before, but can the heated wheel be retrofitted? Is the wiring already there?

Hey thanks Bav, yes, I saw that. I was hoping someone would know if it would be a simple plug & play for the X5 (2004) though. I certainly wouldn't go through all that...

i was wondering the same thing.
whether or not an '03 could be retro-fitted.
:dunno:

i live without it cuz i'm in socal and the weather today is a about 65 degrees... expected back in the mid 70's as soon as this storm (read as light drizzle) passes.

i've just installed my new m/series wheel(thanks again rob) and plugged in an additional wire that was not on my 04 sport wheel. could it be a matter of slpicing into power from somewhere in order to get the heater function working? i'm assuming the m series wheel has heating capabilities? :dunno: :dunno: :dunno:

My pleasure klerk! Post some pics. :)

Yes, and a DIY how to and all of that! It'll save me from bothering Rob_ (thanks again!) when I get to it in about 2 weeks.
