Heated steering wheel was created by mlines

Has anyone seen a heated steering wheel for a Jimny (perhaps a JDM vehicle or aftermarket accessory?)

Martin, I dug into this a little when I bought my Jimny a couple years ago, and the answer appeared to be no.

At least, there is nothing offered on the Jimny or compatible Suzuki. An aftermarket heated wheel would be hard to do without bigger changes, starting with the clockspring, but I suppose nothing is impossible.

You can get after-market heated steering wheel covers, but I would be a bit worried about it slipping:

My best solution is some of these

It's what I keep in my Jimny and a good fitting pair enhances your grip.

Plus you can pretend to be Parker out of Thunderbirds.

If you wondered why the controls in a Jimny are so chunky -- big square buttons, large central toggles -- it is a clue that the Jimny also does not have a heated wheel in its home market, and the designers expected one to use the "DrRobin solution."

Sadly not. I've hunted and there's nothing out there. None of the Suzuki JDM models offer it even as an option. The only model that does is the Across, as it's a rebadged Toyota.

Gutted as I'd love a heated steering wheel.
