Heated steering wheel retrofit?

Heated wheels are very expensive no matter what, then finding the other required parts isn't easy either (well the switches come up all the time actually but that's about all).
But as was written above (many moons ago now) the vents blowing directly on your hands will do a much better job, and are FREE!! :rofl:

The heated wheel was quite a cheap option I seem remember.

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

Electrically heated gloves are an option. Could get some with AA batteries, don't know if any good.
I think the Gadget show reviewed them and said they were very good.
So probably crap, so don't buy.

Not sure I'd bother, always forgot I had one so hardly ever used it and wouldn't say I missed much otherwise I would have used it every time!
