I am somewhat dumbfounded by the individuals stating that they would not purchase a vehicle without it. #1 Is your 992 a daily driver or a toy? #2 Just in case anyone has forgotten the 992 is a sports car not soccer Mom SUV.

But its quite simple: There are times I want to keep my hands warm in my 200k+ car/sled/rocket/toy/transportation

Heated wheels is an absolute essential - even when I'm in San Diego, it's still chilly in the mornings, and it's nice to have a heated wheel. FYI, the heat level is adjustable - you will need PIWIS to adjust the temperature, but easily changeable, and makes a BIG difference. One thing I noticed - when you turn it up VERY high - like 50 deg C, it ends up shutting itself off - 35 - 40 deg C seems to be a good setting. The seat temperature is also adjustable in PIWIS.

In PIWIS, you need to be in development mode (IE "E" mode). From the module list, select "steering column electronics" - can't remember the german word . . then go to Coding - select manual code, and the heat is the only option you will have. Just fill in the temperature you like, and hit "Code" - there you go - Bob's your Uncle. Entire process is 30 sec.

In my T my steering wheel is lukewarm at best and seats I use on max. My Macan I can notice the steering wheel heat. I mostly use 1 for the seats 2 is only used a short time if really cold. Dealer says both are within spec for my T so no adjustments.
