Default April........please add your input.

Hi
I have been here for a while, and your posts seem to be correct and to the point. for that reason could you please scan down to the posts about the heated steering wheel. When we purchased our 4.2 I was told it did not have this feature,that Audi took it off the options list.What is the true answer? If it is there , how does it work?
Thank You.

Default I have been told that it was deleted .....

Too many folks thought there was something wrong with their car.

Being in SoCal, I can't test this. You see, it only works when the external temp falls to a certain level and you've turned on your seat heater.

As a careful reading of all those postings said.

Sigh, I guess it is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff......Andras

Default Not necessarily true.

Hate to add to the confusion, but my smart-alleck friends thought they'd give me a "hot-seat" by turning my seat up to "6" without my knowing. I was on full butt roast while it was 93 degrees outside.

Default The seat will heat, but the wheel heater depends on outside ambient temp

once ran an autocross in San Diego having inadvertantly turned on my seat heater ( a button on the center armrest ). For much of the day, I thought I was having hot flashes a little early in life;-)

Default That happened on my first test drive!

I was sitting there thinking, there's no way I can drive a car that's so uncomfortable! And then we discovered the little switch.
