I have not seen them but I will look now! Thanks.I might have some good news for you. You may have seen my postings on Project Lasso? That's the very first issue I'm trying to address.
It might be a case of not missing what you don't have. I live in Chicago where temps can reach below zero. I have had heated seats in many cars and never felt they would be a priority. I have never had a heated steering wheel until my '19 JLR. I never knew what I was missing. I absolutely love the heated steering wheel now. It is a option I will always want a heated steering wheel from this point going forward if it is available.Living in South Carolina no need for them , I have lived fifty years without the need for heated seats, I come from Northern Ireland where it is really cold in the winter time none of my vehicles from there had them so no big deal
I went back and took another look. The details were first discussed here, in another thread before the project own thread was launched.I have not seen them but I will look now! Thanks.
Just saw where most GM trucks and SUVs are losing heated seats and steering wheels all the way through 2022.
If you got yourJL with heated seats (I did) would losing them have affected your purchase decision? For me, it might have. I love them that much. My sore back loves them that much.
Can’t believe how bad/weird this chip shortage has gotten.
Starting the week of November 15, most GM SUVs and pickups will lose their heated and ventilated seats. This includes the Chevrolet Silverado (pictured), Traverse (except the High Country model), Blazer, and Equinox, and the GMC Sierra, Acadia (except the Denali), Canyon, and Terrain. Automotive Newsreported, relying on a GM letter to dealers, that this change is going to last throughout the 2022 model year. Heated steering wheels are on their way out, too, starting later in November, the paper reported. Customers will get a credit of $150 to $500 to help make up for the loss.
Heated seats remain a curiosity to me. This is doubly true when one considers the furnace-like heat that the Wrangler is capable of producing, irrespective of engine choice and as is often mentioned on this forum. I can't recall ever feeling cold as a consequence of sitting in an unheated seat, and this includes driving with the top in the Sunrider position in temperatures where I should have known better.If you got yourJL with heated seats (I did) would losing them have affected your purchase decision?

What I wouldn't mind having, at least on the vehicles that Wife and Offspring drive, are the Low Washer Fluid dash warning light icons frequently seen on Canadian-spec vehicles, but not ours. My expense for washer fluid each Winter is significant, lol.Heated seats and steering wheels is a must in Canada
x2I would not buy a vehicle that doesn't have heated seats.
