Default heated steering wheel
its -25C up here. The heated seats work fine as does the heater

but the steering wheel is very cold until the inside heats up

does audi sell/make/allow heated steering wheels
is there an aftermarket wheel add on?

Throw a blanket on it at night. Best I can think of.

Seems odd, unless they've been problematic. My '01 allroad had one. One of the few things that worked on the car.

I was just thinking over the weekend how much I missed the heated wheel on my 2006 A6. My 2018 A5 loaner has one, but no availability for the Q5. That seems like an oversight on a "luxury" SUV.

The "Cold Weather Package" that you can get on the Q5 has a heated steering wheel. This is only available on the Premium Plus or Prestige models.
