a heat element put into the steering wheel and gear knob for those cold winter mornings!!

Heated steering wheels are quite Baked (try using Google). Don't know about heated gear sticks. |
|

Baked on motorcycles,i had this for the handlebar grips. |
|
| |
Anyroad close the window,turn on heater. |

A steering wheel cooler, now theres a thought...the number of times I've had to get into my stinking hot car and steer with my fingertips until the A/C cools the steering wheel down. |

I forsee a deadly wreck,
When palms are slipping in the sweat. |
|
| |
Very low tech I know, but why not wear gloves ? |
|
| |
Perhaps it is one of the benefits of living in a maritime climate, or perhaps I am lucky to have had wheels and knobs made of some kind of dark rubbery material, but I have never, ever found my wheel or knob to be that cold, even on the coldest days of the years. |
|
| |
Or perhaps I have rough hands. |
|
| |
Having said all that, It is an experience I shall seek out in future. |

What, you personally have WHEELS ? Most of the other HalfBakers are bipedal (allegedly). As to the other thing, I think that's a level of information beyond that which is required. |

When the temperature is in the single digits, wearing gloves and running the heater aren't enough. My '91 Honda Civic's vinyl steering wheel stays cold for a half hour or more. Makes me want to drive hands-free (dangerous, I know). I've seen heated steering wheels on new cars, but when will they sell a retro-fit heated steering wheel cover? |

I think people who buy cars with heated steering wheels tend to by automatic transmission too... |

Audi & BMW has heated steering wheels- I agree with cooled steering wheels- much bigger problem in the summer for black leather wrapped! |
|
| |
For cold steering wheels: gloves. There is a little storage compartment built in the dashboard of most cars called a "glovebox." |
|
| |
For hot steering wheels, how about a gel-filled steering wheel cover that one keeps in the refrigerator until needed? |
|
| |
I suppose something similar could be made to be heated in a microwave oven for cold steering wheels. |
