Greetings,

I was curious as to how the heated steering wheel works and if it is possible to retro one into a 2.7t (2002) if the wheel came from the same year 4.2. Is the harness the same? Do I need a relay? Anyone have any ideas on the wiring harness. Is it possible to make a switch that would make it turn on / off?

First thig I'd check on is if the spiral spring in the steering column is a different part number for a heated verses non-heated steering wheel. I think it is but not sure. You'd def need one if it is different. Not to mention the harness, the steering wheel etc.

for the 60 seconds the wheel heater actually runs when you have the seat heaters turned on.

So I am willing to spend a few $$$. I have a heated wheel on my BMW X5 so I know how nice it is to have. I have a friend that retrofitted a heated wheel on his X5, so I am familiar with the ring / relay situation. Now I just got to get my Audi bought LOL.

See if the part numbers are different.

I have no idea how it works but I'm very glad it does!
