Heated steering wheel on when 70+ degrees

JABCAT · 12-09-2022, 07:38 AM

Last couple days when I've gotten in my car in the morning the heated steering wheel has been on, yet the temps have been in the mid-70s.

I have my car scheduled to pre-condition @ 6:30 am every morning. My heated seats & steering wheel comfort settings are set to come on with temps below 55 degrees. This week it's been 68-76 degrees each morning & the car is parked in a garage, yet each morning the heated steering wheel has been on. Anyone else experience this?

Not the same but I had this with heated seats. They wouldn’t come on when set to activate. Or would come on when not expected. I reset the iDrive. Press and hold volume until the screen goes blank. Usually around 30 seconds. Logged out of connected drive. Logged back in. It resolved for me. If that doesn’t work it could be software. Might be worth arranging a remote connection session to check codes. Unless you have picked up any fault codes?!
