My steering wheel did not ship with heating. Can it be added?

I ordered the wheel for the sports Chrono package, and thought (assumed) it was heated. The bottom of the wheel has a removable plate. Is it wired to heat? Thanks in advance! it is freaking COLD here in Colorado! ;-)

It's been done on other Porsche's - usually you have to buy a wheel with the switch and heating element, sometimes a new clockspring as well, and then have to have the dealer program it.

I have sports Chrono and my steering came heated without me speccing it. Why does yours not have it?

Easy to miss when configuring your build. You need to speq the heated steering wheel (in combination with Sports chrono pack and leather) option.

Thats what I thought as well, but my salesperson (order taker) said I missed the option. I think I might take a hex driver to the little panel on the wheel and see what's inside!

I didn't spec anything. I never clicked anything regarding heated steering wheel, but maybe the Canada configurator is different. It came by default with heat.

My very first question to my (Canadian) sales person was to make sure heated steering wheel come as standard.
And yes it does.

Yes it can be added. Kufatec makes kits that include the steering wheel and device to reprogram the car. Just have a look on their website.

You can also retrofit folding mirrors, surround view and even night Vision! No idea how easy it is though so proceed at your own risk.
