Have put my heated steering wheel on a couple of times now and it is just luke warm, Other vehicles I have had the steering wheel gets really hot. Does Audi only get luke warm?, or is mine malfunctioning

They don't get very hot. It's nothing compared to what was in my 2012 Kia Optima, that would get HOT. I would say yours is functioning normally.

In mine it seems the amount of heat is designed to work in conjuction the interior temp. As the interior warms up, the temp of the heating element in the steering wheel drops. Or, it could be designed as a timing thing - it starts out warmer and eventually stages down. I will say my wheel gets more than warm enough after a minute or so after it's first turned on although unevenly - it feels warmer at the sides than at the top.

Mine is pretty week too. I think yours is operating properly.

Well I reprogrammed my steering wheel heat temperature from 22 Celsius to 28 Celsius and wow big improvement in how HOT my steering wheel gets in my 2016 Audi A7. I bought the obdeleven scanner tool (70 bucks) and connected it to my car and used the app on my cell phone and made some neat adjustment including no more countdown timer from heated seats stage 3 to 2.

Thanks a ton,
Can I get the reset for the heated seats not to lower automatically.
Audi has some very irrational stuff in their vehicle.
If it wasn't for guys like you I might not recommend this car to anyone.
