They said if you have on the radio, the heated seats, the climate control, etc it is too much of a load and the least needed thing is the wheel so it turns off. We've had some cold snowy weather here and I tried it and the wheel heats up every time. If there is a software update that comes out I'll let you guys know!

Thanks Jenny!
I, too have had this problem recurring on my 2-month-old E90. It's exactly as people have described it here, and it works about half the time. Light comes on for 10 seconds, then it shuts off. I had found that it only gets fixed if I restart the car (would do so at the next traffic light, etc.)
No similar problems with the seat heater, etc.
I appreciate this info from you and from now on I'll pay attention to the order I turn stuff on, to see if it works.
It would be great if you could indeed keep us informed in this thread if you hear of a real fix!
