Does anyone know if Volvo’s are generally fitted as standard with heater elements in the steering wheel? Or would this be a specific addition for higher spec models or those including a “winter package” for example.
I have a 2019 XC60 Momentum (limited spec) for which I have activated the heated steering wheel option through Orbit. That has enabled an additional control in the central panel, piggy-backed on the driver’s heated seat control, that allows me to select the heated steering wheel from level 1 to 3. Unfortunately, I get no temperature change at the steering wheel. So should I conclude that my car simply doesn’t heating element in the steering wheel? Or are there other factors that affect when it would heat up? Like outside/inside ambient temperature? Or whether heated seats and/or front/rear screen heaters are switch on?
Bottom line: should I be able to get this working with my model? Or would I need a replacement steering wheel that actually heats? Would Orbit be able detect if the necessary support is there?
Thanks
