Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I miss the heated wheel i had in my last BMW. Better feature than heated seats IMO.

POST 2Original post

lol, I highly doubt it, given that 911s are generally way behind the curve on tech of this nature.

POST 3Original post

No, I think it only may have become an option during the 997 face-lift.

POST 4Original post

The others that replied are correct. Porsche never offered the 996 with a heated wheel.

POST 5Original post

Bummer - those of us with early-onset/juvenile arthritis LOVE the heated wheel. Sometimes I have to go sit in the Murano and let the wheel heat up my hands to get them working in the AM.

POST 6Original post

Rare option that tended to over heat some, typically only used once.

POST 7Original post

I had a 740il that had the heated steering wheel.. Really great option. That one also had heated rear seats, the kids loved that...

POST 8Original post

Heated stealing wheel? Really? I guess I'm more of a sports car driver not a Luxury car driver. Doesn't the 2006 997 have one right next to the factory feminine products disposal bin ?

POST 9Original post

Wasn't available in the 997 series until 2009...
