Questions about heated steering wheel…..

[Asstastic]

So the heated seats, love them, on the highest setting they get very warm. Hotter than any other car/truck I have ever had, but the heated steering wheel seems off. I don’t have much experience with heated steering wheels, but on my Colorado you could really feel it. On my 22 Bronco I can barely tell when it’s on. Can someone answer if the entire wheel is heated or is it just at 10 and 2? Is there something I missed in the settings where the temperature can be adjusted on the heated steering wheel?

I don't have mine yet, so I can't really answer your questions. But, I believe there are some threads about increasing the output in FORSCAN to make it hotter.

My wife has had two Edges that had the heated steering wheel, and they were perfect. My Bronco’s steering wheel is hotter than those Edges, to the point of almost being too hot at times.

When I use mine, it feels like the 10 and 2 positions get the hottest. I think that’s just the way the heating element is in the wheel. But the heat on mine works really well and you can definitely tell that it’s on.

I don't know about the Bronco but all our other Ford vehicles almost burnt my hands, OK maybe exaggerating. There isn't a setting to adjust it.

My Badlands Lux has three settings for the heated wheel. Lowest is, for me, quite adequate--but winter hasn't started here in New England, yet!
I haven't noticed that the 10 and 2 are warmer than other positions--but I'm an insensitive lout. I have noticed that the bottom of the steering wheel, along the leather stitching, doesn't seem to transmit heat.

This is truly a "First World problem."

Only about 75% of the steering wheel is heated. Nothing at all at the spokes, very unlike other vehicles in same price range. Mine gets warm enough yet not so hot that I can leave it on continually whereas the seats get so hot I have to turn them down

Can you post a photo of where the 3 settings for the heated wheel are? My Badlands Lux only has one option

Mine (21 FE w/Lux) when I first got it, I could barley feel when the heat was turned on, once I adjusted the max temp in Forescan, the upper half of the wheel gets nice and warm, the bottom half does not heat much at all.

I haven't seen anywhere to adjust the settings and like the OP, I can barely tell it's on. Would love if someone could confirm if it can be adjusted.

10 and two seem warmest. However, if you move your hands else where and leave them a bit, then that area gets warmer.

10 and 2 on my vehicles that had/have it.

Heated seats have three settings. Heated steering wheel is either on or off.

mostly at 10 and 2 and quickly becoming my favorite option
