Heated Wheel Retrofit

[enjoitheride]

Yes. Those are OEM part numbers. The steering wheels that I have are also new OEM.

DM me a price of orange stitch wheel. I have a dealer connection, so I want to see what your price is. Thank you!

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 one. Here’s what people with F-150’s are using. You can get the controls here: https://www.fairwayfordparts.net/oem-parts/ford-control-ml3z19980k

If confirmed to work on 23s this looks like the type of thing someone should bundle into an easy to order kit…

A couple thoughts,
-Will be nice if someone would tear apart their 23 wheel to see if the heating element is even missing? Could be even less parts?
-if one chooses to replace the hvac panel could the hvac panel with the numbers on dials be an Option?
-is the software control button just enabling something that already exists in the ui for trucks with the heated wheel or is it something buried that is not exposed without forescan?

Someone posted that they removed the airbag on an 2023 model and the heating element is not there.

Another person purchased that hvac set from Tasca recently and received the digital readout version for $103.

Boosted Grey Goose sells a kit for the wiring and clock spring, but they’re out of stock.

Thanks for the quick summary Barry. Between trying to learn how to use ForScan (new ford owner here) and Figure out the heated steering wheel issue, I'm days into reading forums! A quick summary sure saves a lot of time!

No problem. I have a bunch of steering wheels so I get questions all of the time.

Following this thread with great interest, if someone gets this done soon I might make it a week 1 activity

I am following this just because. I have a 21' with everything before any deletions, except the optional auto start/stop delete. basically no vested interested.

With all the parts that seem to be needed $140 deduction off the sticker is an insult.

There’s a very long thread on another forum that people add comments to daily. I’d post the link, but I’m not sure if that’s allowed.

I'm considering doing the retrofit, but I'm gonna wait until it's been done by someone here so I know exactly what I'm in for. Not too excited about spending the money for it, (principle), or tearing into a brand new truck.
