but will forscan enable it completely if I just buy the wheel and module? I am wondering if I can forgo buying a new button assembly and do without the manual button on the wheel by reusing my existing button cluster. If forscan can enable it on the touch screen and I could install my existing switch assembly from my wheel onto the new wheel, I'd be able to get this done for a "reasonable" price. OR can you not buy the wheel without the switches?

2 years later...is this doable? I think there’s a lot more to it then just the steering wheel, hswm and forscan.

I believe so, but not worth it. Maybe some good gloves with Hand warmers would be cheaper

My wife thinks I only have 3 guns

Working on a cheap option for those that have the harness and heated wheel clock spring already in place like the last post by Diverdown3. I’ve been searching like crazy and surprised no one has posted about this situation. I have the same setup.

I believe the only parts needed are an amazon/ebay heated wheel without trim and buttons ~$350 (transfer trim and buttons from your oem wheel), ford hswm ~$30, forscan and modify your steering wheel to clock spring wire harness to include wires for the heated wheel thermistor ~$10 (bright green connector on a full heated wheel with buttons). I just need to figure out where the thermistor wires need to feed in to the steering wheel harness to clock spring connector.

Testing my theory on the thermistor wires tomorrow and will report back with full instructions if it works. Everything else I’ve read requires purchasing a full heated wheel setup with buttons that includes the thermistor wire input, which is ~$1k new for the steering wheel alone.
