Heated Steering Wheel
Hello all. I just upgraded my 2009 328i E90 to a 2011 328i E90 this past week. So far I am loving it, going from base to loaded!
I've got two questions, in order of how important they are: 1) I thought I saw somewhere in the description from the dealership that this car had a heated steering wheel. Maybe I just don't know how to activate it, or maybe I misread. If it's got a heated steering wheel, where do I turn it on? There's nothing between the cruise control and obc stalk. 2) I don't see "ConnectedDrive" on my iDrive, nor can I get this thing to see texts from my HTC Evo 4G LTE. Everything else works great, bluetooth and streaming audio are fine, Office sees all my contacts... etc. Here's the VIN readout from bmwarchive.org Model description: 328i Market: USA Type: PH57 E-Code: E90 (MUE) Chassis: Limousine Steering: links Doors: 4 Engine: N51B30M1 - 3,00l (172kW) Drive: Heckantrieb Transmission: automatisch Body Color: Tiefseeblau Metallic (A76) Upholstery: Leder Dakota/grau 60 (LCAD) Production date: 24.03.2011 Assembled in: Rosslyn Code Serienausstattung Standard Equipment S249A Multifunktion für Lenkrad Multifunction f steering wheel S497A Mittelarmlehne im Fond Centre armrest, rear S520A Nebelscheinwerfer Fog lights S5DSA Notentriegelung Kofferraum Emergency release, luggage compartment S645A BMW US Radio BMW US Radio S823A Heissland-Ausführung Hot-climate version S845A Akustische Gurtwarnung Acoustic belt warning S850A Zusätzl.

If the car has a heated steering wheel, the button will be on the right side of the steering column below the windshield wiper stalk.

Switch?
MassBimmer, thank you. Is this what you're talking about? (the only clear picture I could find was from an X5)
If so, I don't have it. Is there another place it would be? I'm kind of disappointed, I could really use this feature when it's so cold. What package includes the HSW? Any ideas if the wheel I have currently is already wired for this? Like the rear fogs.. the car has the wiring already you just have to find the secret switch and do a mod. Any ideas of how I can check would be GREATLY appreciated. Last edited by gkroegman; 02-19-2015 at 02:17 PM.. Reason: Enabled notifications |

Heated steering wheel
The option code for a heated steering wheel is S248A. It doesn't appear that your car has one according to the option list.

Heated steeing wheels sucks, when's it's really cold outside it doesn't want to work. You turn it on and it turns off. I ended up taking mine out and replacing with m sport wheel.
