The only message I am aware of is, when you toggle it on/off (button on steering wheel) a message displays in the virtual cockpit. Otherwise, there is no other indicator (aside from a warm steering wheel) to tell you its on.

No that is not it. Its either a light or temp sensor. The heated wheel indicator only comes on when you toggle the on/off switch and appears in the odo

Thanks for quick replies. Maybe I'll ask my service specialty next time I'm in for a service.

This is not a light or any sort of indicator. It's an infrared temp probe for cabin temperature.

No, as others have mentioned its cabin temperature/light sensor. This is one "small" feature I miss, which my prior BMWs had.

What are you going to ask the service dept? You’ve already been given the answers.

Yeah, first time my wife used it she was looking for an indicator light, but then saw the indicator "pop-up" in the VC when she toggled on / off.

I love this answer, so true of many, ask advise here and not what to hear it so they go elsewhere to ask the same question.
