Heated seats and steering wheel?

[Rploaded]

I have them in Houston, there are just some mornings where it feels nice to have a heated wheel and seat.

I love them. I used them every time I get in it in the winter.

I believe that the auto on per the temperature is something you can turn off in the settings.

Ya I wish that existed
That option to disable the system is not available to owners with an MT

I live in Chicago so the winter can get cold. Heated seats have been in my last couple vehicles and they are great for those cold mornings. A heated steering wheel is even better. I never thought I needed one until I drove a vehicle with that option. Now I’ll never own a vehicle without it. They are a luxury that once you have them you wonder how you ever lived without them.

Hi everyone. I'm new here and looking to buy my first Jeep! I found one that has everything I want... initially. Then I started thinking about the heated steering wheel and seats. Living in Harrisburg, Pennsylvania we have an awesome fall and will get our share of winter but it's not outrageous like some places. The Jeep I'm looking at already has the remote start so that's not an issue. My question is: If you have the cold weather package with the heated steering wheel and seats, how often do you use it and are you glad you got it? Those of you who don't have it, do you wish you did?
Thanks everyone! I'm looking forward to learning about what add ons I should or shouldn't get!

I am in Philadelphia and have the cold weather package. Love it!

I live by Pittsburgh and honestly, the only part of the cold weather package that I even use is the heated mirrors. I could care less about the wheel and seats. That being said, the one thing I Do wish I had gotten was the towing package. Do yourself a favor and check that box

I have both in my JL. While in Portsmouth, VA and even here in Petaluma, CA they have been lifesavers. The steering wheel gets hot so I don't use it often or for very long, but a warm steering wheel helps the hands. Same for the seats. Even if it's just a cool morning, a nice warm seat even on low setting is a nice comfort. Big time uses are when the top and/or doors are off. If the weather isn't super warm or it takes awhile to warm up, the seats and especially the steering wheel help keep you and your hands warm until the weather can do it for you. Even at 70 degrees, if you get moving fast enough it can be kinda chilly in the car. I find it worth while and you never know what the weather is like where you go off-roading. If you travel into the hills or mountains it can cool down and you don't want to be left with cold hands and bottoms. Worth it all the way in my opinion

LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Great for when your back hurts too,lol. Also nice to have when your nekked and it's chilly

 

[CanAmMick]

It’s well worth the money! I use it just about every day during the winter months, and during the summer I use it for my back. It’s an option that I wouldn’t do without.

I have a manual transmission so no remote start. That makes the heated seats that much better.

I live in Arizona. No need for heated seats or steering wheel here. However if Jeep offered cooled seats and steering wheels, I would have ordered them!

 

[deaglejones]

I live in California... and moved here from the North East -- so clearly no need for the heated seats/wheel -- but I 100% love them, use them all the time (topless evenings at speed, etc.) The wheel heats up incredibly fast, can pretty much remove a chill from your hands on demand.

I have the 6speed, so have no idea about the remote start interactions

+1 get it. It's well worth it. This weekend I got stuck in a hail/rain storm on the way home from the hills. Hard top and panels were at home in the garage. So I turned on the heat to max, and the auto climate control kicked in the heated seat and steering wheel. I couldn't believe how much of a difference it made.

It’s a must have, IMO. Took my doors off on Saturday because forecast was perfect for that here in CT. This morning it was 50 when I needed to leave for work, but I knew it was going to warm up by the afternoon so I decided to leave them off. I put on a sweatshirt and turned on those heated seats and wheel, which made the 25 mile highway commute bearable.

Here’s how I looked when I arrived. (Toasty butt and hands not pictured.)

Well you really kicked off a hot topic with this one.

Seriously though. I absolutely love them. When I was shopping, I found a Mojito Sahara on the dealer lot with everything I wanted EXCEPT cold weather group. I almost bought it because I wanted the green, but my wife was smart enough to warn me that I'd regret not getting the heated seats.
I ended up ordering my JL. With my first pick of color (Mojito) unavailable I ordered in my #2 pick of color with the cold weather group. I'm here to tell you, they were worth giving up the color for. I use them all the time. Granted, I'm a freeze baby, and was wearing a hoodie yesterday, but even if you don't use them as early in the season as I do, they're absolutely a must have item.

....Also, Jeeps are known for their heat generation, albeit heater or heated seats. Both come on fast and strong. Out your way you will appreciate feeling that heat before ya get to the end of your block.

That's no joke. The heater pumps it out extremely fast in these things. I had no idea it was a "jeep thing".
