Default Add Heated Steering Wheel?

Is there a heated steering wheel available for the Q5? In Europe maybe?

If so, has anyone added this "feature" to their Q5 and if so where'd you get the parts needed?

Thanks!!!

Interestingly, there is not in Europe
For the A6, A7 yes, but there is not for A4, A5, Q5, which were made on the same platform

Default Extra $$$

All those extras would add more $$$ to the bottom line. It should be an option if you want it, pay extra for it. It isn't really needed in the southern states so why should they have to pay for it?

Pity given our climate - my Kia has it and I use it all winter long - didn't know how much I would appreciate until I had it. Really miss it when I drive the Q5.

Surprised you miss anything from your Kia, I sure don't miss anything about my company Spectra.

Heated steering wheel, who are we kidding?

I don't care where you live, you don't "need" a heated steering wheel. If this is a deal breaker for you, then I wish you good luck. Enjoy your Kia!

Haha... I kid, I kid.

Pretty sure you can't retrofit other steering wheels. When I swapped mine there was one that I wanted, but it wasn't compatible.

Even if you could, there probably wouldn't be a code in the computer system to activate it. Not sure on that though.

Why are you guys being such an *** to Rez? He never said he needed it, he just said it was a feature that he appreciates. Yes it's surprising that a Kia has a nice feature that our Audi doesn't have, but your comment makes you sound like a jealous kid who's pretending not to want something you can't have.
