Heated steering wheel

Greetings,

I have a 2022 Tundra Limited 4x4 without a heated steering wheel.

To add a heated steering wheel, do I need to order the switch and a new steering wheel, or only add a switch?

According to ChatGPT, I need both, but I wanted to confirm. Thank you!


The 2022 Toyota Tundra Limited does not come with a pre-installed heating element in the steering wheel that can be activated simply by adding a switch. To equip your Tundra with a heated steering wheel, you would need to replace the existing steering wheel with one that includes a heating element and install the necessary switch and wiring. Some owners have successfully installed the heated TRD Pro steering wheel, which comes with the heating element pre-installed. This upgrade involves replacing the steering wheel and adding the appropriate dash switch.


It’s important to note that this modification requires technical expertise, and the cost of parts and installation can be significant. Additionally, while some Tundra models may have pre-installed wiring harnesses that facilitate such upgrades, this is not guaranteed for all vehicles. Therefore, it’s advisable to consult with a Toyota dealership or a professional installer to assess compatibility and obtain a detailed estimate before proceeding with the installation.

Was about to type the same.

 

I am looking for insights from someone who has a ‘22 limited edition and added heated steering wheel functionality.

One can search and find example where a Limited edition has a wiring harness, steering wheel with the heating elements, but no switch. In other posts, a switch and heated wheel were both needed.

 

did u find any other info on this? Im on the same boat
