Heated Steering Wheel Heat Intensity

My wheel damn near melts the rubber grips off my gloves!

The JL wheel is HOT as F. A reason I did not get it in the JT.

The heater vents can be positioned right at your hands so I didn't see the point.

Weather up here in Northern Minnesota last week:

I feel like my heated wheel fluctuates. Is there any chance it is tied in the cab heat?

Maybe I’m not crazy after all! It feels like every so often my wheel gets way too hot but 97% it’s just mildly comfortable

heated steering or growing a pair...? hmm choices

I will go heated steering wheel,
Been -40C here for the last two weeks, I wonder if that’s why it never feels hot?
So bring your Californian balls here and tell me you wouldn’t use the heated wheel switch.

Warm but never hot. Cheaped out and only give us one setting because Jeep knows what everyone’s ideal comfort level is?
On one of my former motorcycles the heated handgrip setting when it was on high was so hot I could smell my leather gloves baking.

Have you ever seen a heated steering wheel with heat settings? I’m very familiar with luxury brands and I’ve never seen that before.

I would point that heater on my balls.

That's what the heated seats are for.

Correct. I've never seen it. We looked at an Audi S5 for my wife tis summer and it didn't have it. And Audis tend to have that kind of thing nailed.

That’s the 2nd reason I didn’t get that option.

I think it all depends on your tolerances. The people saying, "I don't need no darned heated steering wheel" are probably the same ones that cry when they don't have a/c in the summer. I could live in Phoenix with no a/c, but I whine about the cold every winter no matter where I live including Phoenix. If its under 50 degrees out, my heated steering wheel is on.

My heated steering wheel is pretty much spot on for the right temp. My seat gets really hot, I generally keep that on the lowest setting. I've had a heated steering wheel since my 2017 Ram, and honestly I don't think I could go back to not having one in a new vehicle, and yes it has made me 'soft'.

Seems very hit or miss. My 20 JT gets scalding hot and I have to turn it off once it's up to temperature, but the wife's 21 JL just seems to get to this perfect "warm" and stay there. Only difference between the wheels I can tell is my stitching is white and hers is black, the cover material seems to be the same.

I think the steering wheel might be connected to the HVAC setting. As the cabin warms up, I can feel the steering wheel heat less. Which is totally fine, it keeps it nice and cozy. I'm overall extremely satisfied with this vehicle and the options I ordered

 

[Zilla]

Yeah I’m in the same boat as others. Mine gets hot enough that I need to turn it off, I even have a steering wheel cover

Judging from your picture, you're too young and tender to be driving anyway.

IKR, I’ve grown up a little
