Never had a heated steering but would love one. Probably out of reach financially.
Now, Sterling grey Z4 2.2 with cup holders, stubby aerial and sport seats. Roadsters ‘cause they’re great with the roof down.
Ford Anglia, Red Sprite, a few MG midgets, MGB Roadster and yellow Ford Capri, all gone many years now.

My seat is switched on and as soon as I feel it getting warm it's switched off again, whereas my wife will drive around with the seat heat on full for the entire trip!!
Can't fault you regarding the heated steering wheel, lovely especially as I've just retrofitted mine

I want to do a retrofit but can't find a heated steering wheel to buy and replace my current one.

On the whole, very easy as it's a straightforward job to do with no coding required.
Finding some of the parts though is not so easy, or cheap.
Alas i got all the parts and lined up for buying an original E89 (manual) steering wheel, even agreed a price, but never heard from him or seen him on-line since So I've actually fitted one from an E93, it was very used and abused but it was absolutely dirt cheap, so I've refurbished it and I really like it, oh and it's nice and toasty

To return the thread to heated seats somewhat - does anyone know how to remove the headrest from the MSport seats so I can start “skinning” the seats please?

Thanks Dave - so essentially its "just" pull upwards in a jerking motion. I wanted to be sure there was no clip or bolt I needed to undo first. I'll give it a go and will report on progress
Cheers

I can confirm that grabbing the headrest firmly and one or two quick tugs and off it pops!
Thanks
Thanks

So not as dangerous as removing the Gear Knob from an E85 which could damage the man vegetables!

So I bought a 35is with all the toys to play with.

I have them and they are great, never need more than setting 1 though. Heated steering wheel is also brilliant sooooo toasty and really fast warm up..

My seats and steering wheel is set to come on automatically if the outside temp drops below 10C. Was intending to lower that to 5C but it came on again the other day and I thought, Nah! leave things as they are.
