I recently bought an E82 from 2008. Really pleased with it, has heated seats but does not have a heated steering wheel. I did some searching but only found one page where some people talked about this. It seems this was option #248, rare option apparently, but more i cannot find about it.
Does anybody know if it is possible to retrofit a heated steering wheel in my car? Or in E80-series in general?
I would love this,had it in my 2011 Z4,my 120d m sport has everything apart from the heated steering wheel,and this is something I'd defo pay to add to my car x
Does the heated button sit where cruise control is? I have rain sensors and cruise on my 123d so can I fit the heated wheel button just to make it work?
How sure about that are you? I'm looking to add cruise control and there are several x5 heated wheel + cruise slip rings on ebay. Compared to 0 for the 1 series.
Different part numbers from what I can see. Also, the x5 has the heating button on the face of the wheel - not on the side of the column.
A slip ring from an e70 X5 with heated steering wheel has three extra connections, which should be enough. I've just mounted a Performance Steering wheel on my e81, and the slip ring I used had part number 61319122381, and the connector that goes in to the back had part number 61136954518.
The one on the right with the cable is the one from the X5.
While doing this I noticed that the OEM slip ring had two spare connections as well, (maybe for cars with paddles?), maybe these can be used?
Hi Awt,
But the slipring feom the x5 has a 3pin connector and the ecu modul in the steering wheel has an 4 pin. How do you fix this?
