Software update made heated steering wheel warmer?

BarryB · 01-21-2020, 11:54 AM

Hi all,
since I got my car I thought the steering wheel heater was weak. After my last software update, it feels like it gets warmer (better).
Anyone else notice this?

What software version are you running now? My G20 has weak steering/seat heat compared to the other cars in my garage. Even compared to my X3.

I'll have to go look but I agree it was the worst out all my cars. But not anymore which is why I think it could have been coded or I have a good imagination......

Hopefully it can be coded. I coded it in my ex-A4 and the seats and steering became real warm. Like toasty. In less than a minute when it was -15F outside.

I hope so... My wife's G30 is what made me realize what I was missing with heated steering wheels...

I barely notice this thing.
