Hello

Just taken delivery of my new Macan S and selected the Heated Multifunctional GT steering wheel in leather . I tried the heating option and I am underwhelmed, feels Luke warm. My wife has an BMW X1 and her wheel is a lot warmer.

Interested in other thoughts and feedback

Thanks

If the heated steering wheel is anything like the cold air on the air conditioning, then it'll be rubbish.

I had it on a standard wheel on the Macan and I thought it was ok actually, not super warm but did the job. I don’t have one at all now but suspect I won’t miss it a great deal, bit of a gimmick for me.

I love the heated wheel on my car. Doesn’t get hot as such, but certainly warms my hands on cold days. I really appreciate it, but I think I may suffer from poor circulation in my fingers when it’s cold. Fully appreciate that some others don’t want or need this option. :)

Well I can't believe it. Mine gets too blinkin hot, and it has to be turned off. Must be something amiss with the sensor inside it, if it has one.
But I too suffer with Raynauds Syndrome like WC, and I find it an absolute bonus in anything like cold weather.

Heated wheel on my Macan is the single best useful option that I choose.

I works very well on mine.

If you have a problem, take it back for the OPC to check.

I concur, both work perfectly fine on mine too.
