Post-Build Heated Steering Wheel Add

[bsb4fsu]

I just picked up my truck and was very disappointed when I realized it doesnt have a heated steering wheel. I have the Lariat Ultimate Package but apparently it had to be ordered with the wiper de-icer option. Does anyone know if I can add a heated steering wheel to the truck?

I also was shocked the lariat ultimate doesn’t come with heated wheel. Oh well but I loved it in my platinum.

I would check steering wheel part numbers( to see if they are all the same) so they all have the heating element in it. The option is just an icon on the touch screen. I would thing it could be enabled with forscan. I am certainly not that smart to do this but a lot of you guys are.
Good luck and by the way I love mine. The seats and wheel once enabled stay on until you untenable them. Start and stop and start again everything stays how you left it. My 15 , you would have to hit the screen every time you turned on the truck. What a PITA that was.

Did you ever figure out how to add a heated steering wheel? I also have an ultimate package and wondering if there is an easy way to add it.

How do you turn on the heated steering wheel?

How do you turn on the heated steering wheel?

Touch screen button, lower right corner on the Home Screen.

I yearn to go somewhere I might need to use my heated steering wheel.

I just picked up my new 2021 F350 Tremor with the Lariat Ultimate Package and was disappointed to find out the heated steering wheel is not included in that package like it was in my 2018 F150 w/ the Lariat Ultimate Package. Hoping it's a simple Forscan edit, but guessing it's much more expensive than that to add....

@NewBC I am currently gathering the parts to do this on my recently acquired 22 F250 Lariat. In previous model years the forscan change was a simple pick to enable the feature. I will update this post once I complete the process...

Any new updates on this process? Especially for the 2022 Lariat. Thanks!

@Sweet0891 Sure... Everything is installed and there have been a few snags... The trailer module under the dash that was used in prior years to tap into the CAN signals is no longer there with Sync4. I have been working with a harness maker and he came up with a new solution which is now on my truck.

I recently made all the forscan changes and the HSW module is powered and recognized, button appears on the touchscreen, but I can't enable it. It is greyed out as inactive. I have done some basic debugging but haven't had time to deep dive it. No DTCs are present, fuses are good, etc. A few others on here are helping with ideas as is my harness guy...

Stay tuned, hopefully something simple!

Update:

What did you do to your Tremor today?

Just picked up my 2022 X3 XRS with Smart Shox. Ended up having to buy a new trailer due to it being 72" wide. This trailer was borrowed and it barely fit. Tires rubbed both rails Nice! The best mod you can do is send those shocks to SDG (Suspension Development Group) in San Diego. They blow...

Finally got a chance to use my summer installed heated steering wheel. Everything works as anticipated, except it appears to be cycling hot to cool down to hot to cool down and so on. The cycle is regular. Anyone know if there is a setting somewhere I can’t find, or if there is maybe some sort of defective module or thermostat?
