You can retrofit the steering wheel with heat. You need the clock spring, two pigtail wires to power the heater, the steering wheel, and ForScan. You can swap the hvac controls, but it’s not necessary. I have a few heated steering wheels with code orange or black stitching if you’re looking for...

I usually go out of state to get vehicles and haggle with them over the difference in price of the new vehicle and trade-in. I don’t put a specific number on the trade unless they ask me. I’ll use their local zip code to look up the value in their area for the vehicle that I’m trading.

It’s more profit for Ford. The clock springs are on back order and the other parts are available.

It has an additional spot to plug in the heated steering wiring. They probably sell more vehicles without heated steering like the XL’s and XLT’s.

The clock spring seems to be the issue. They could put the wiring and steering wheel in place and swap the clock spring later. The $140 credit is a joke.

What’s the offset?

The software is free. You buy the cable on Amazon for $40. I use the $50 model. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B081VQVD3F/?tag=fordraptorforum-20

You can add it for about $1k including the cost of the new steering wheel. You need a clockspring, two 18 ga pigtail wires, and the steering wheel. You can use ForScan to code the APIM to enable the onscreen controls. I have the heated steering wheels with code orange or black stitching.

You’d hope since that’s the credit, but far from it.

Can guys make money on feet finder? Is there a market for guy with big feet and long hairy toes?

After reading through the long DIY heated steering thread on another form it looks like the shortage is on the clock springs that control the heated steering. You can find them used and retrofit the heated steering.

Dealerships are going to keep marking up the prices as long as people keep buying the vehicles. This dealership has a used raptor bronco listed for $150k https://www.lakekeoweechryslerdodge.com/used/Ford/2022-Ford-Bronco-greenville-sc-d7428de70a0e087f579dcea01b854eb4.htm

I’m taking my truck in on the 19th to get the cup holder replaced. They’re going to install the updates for me if it hasn’t done it before then. I wish that Ford would add them on the sync my ride website like they did with sync 3.

My APIM current has 3.5.2 and it needs 3.5.3 to get full screen CarPlay and the unreal theme.

I have a family member that works at one of the Ford factories and he was telling me about all of the issues that they have with new vehicles being built. They’ll build vehicles without having the parts and then rip them apart to put the missing parts on them later. He said that they’ve had some...

I did the coding for the unreal theme, but only part of it changed. I’m still waiting on 3.5.3 to make it all work. My last update was on 13 Oct 2022.

My 2021 did this about a month ago. I got in the truck and as soon as I turned it on I heard a loud pop followed by static. Turning the volume knob made the volume display appear on the screen, but it stayed at zero and the sound wouldn’t go away. I had to disconnect the battery to get it to stop.

Someone made a post about a similar issue in a Facebook group yesterday. He stated that the passenger taillight was going out and after taking it to the dealership the tech found a bad module somewhere on the truck. I’ll try to find it.

I just sent my salesman a email to cancel the 2022 I ordered in January. It’s been on chip hold for months, meanwhile people paying more for 2023’s with less options already have them.

That credit is BS and so is the multi contour seat credit.

The steering wheels aren’t the issue. It’s the other parts. To add heated steering you’ll need some wiring, the clock spring, and hvac controls if you want that. Ford has already removed the digital display from the hvac controls. Removing the heated steering button saves more chips. I highly...

They’re overstock parts. I get them from the wholesaler.

They are gen 3 and it’s all legit. I don’t think that the steering wheels are the issue with removing them from the trucks. I can get them at any time.

There’s a DIY thread on another forum on how to retrofit heated steering. If you want a heated steering wheel you can send me a message.
