Default Stupid question: Heated steering wheel
Winter is coming. So, how do I turn the heating of the steering wheel on?

When you heat the seat, the steering wheel also goes on

Brilliant, thanks! Then I suspect it doesn't work. Doesn't feel very warm anyway

I don't believe that heated steering wheels were an option on the S8...

Default My '03 S8 has a VERY nice heated steering wheel. Just starting to appreciate it this time....
of year ;-) The three-spoke steering wheels may not have had heat as an option (I don't know), but the four spoke MFSWs did.

Most of them don't.

Default I stand corrected...those of us with the 3 spoke S8 steering wheel have to drive harder and faster..
...just to create friction on the steering wheel to give the sensation of a heated steering wheel...those with the 4 spoke wheel can enjoy the heat without the aforementioned conditions.

According to ETKA, all 4-spoke MFSW with tip is heated
