VW Transporter T6.1 Heated Steering Wheel Retrofit in Pure Grey
This VW Transporter T6.1 Sportline in Pure Grey just received a full VW Transporter heated steering retrofit — and it’s arrived just in time for the colder months. We installed a genuine heated steering wheel, complete with proper wiring and coding, to ensure it functions just like a factory-fitted upgrade. No dodgy modules, no guesswork — just seamless OEM-style integration for total comfort and control. ❄️🔥
Ever climbed into your van on a frosty morning and dreaded gripping that ice-cold steering wheel? This retrofit solves that instantly. With three adjustable heat levels, the genuine heated steering wheel ensures your hands stay warm and toasty, no matter how low the temperature drops. It’s a small upgrade that makes a massive difference to your driving experience — especially if you’re using your van day in and day out. 🧤🔥
Factory-Feel Finish
We didn’t just bolt this in and call it a day — this retrofit involved removing the original steering wheel, safely disconnecting the airbag, wiring in the heating element to factory spec, and coding it properly using ODIS. The result? A system that behaves exactly like it came out the VW factory in Germany. Heat settings appear on the infotainment display, and the temperature control integrates with existing vehicle systems — just as it should.
Proper Coding, No Shortcuts
As with all our vag retrofits, diagnostics and coding were key. We used ODIS to activate the heated wheel function in the relevant modules, ensuring compatibility with the T6.1’s body control and infotainment systems. This avoids future headaches caused by incorrect coding or incomplete installations. You don’t want your new wheel throwing up fault codes next time you visit a dealership — ours won’t.
Three Heat Settings, Total Comfort
Warmth at your fingertips. This heated steering wheel offers three levels of heat, controlled via your infotainment system or multifunction steering controls (depending on spec). Whether you’re leaving home before sunrise or finishing late on the job, that extra bit of comfort makes a real difference — especially on those long motorway trips in winter.
OEM Quality = Built to Last
We only install genuine VW parts — no aftermarket knock-offs. The wheel used in this VW Transporter heated steering retrofit was a brand-new OEM part, styled to match the Pure Grey T6.1 Sportline’s interior perfectly. The wiring harness was integrated cleanly using factory routing points and Tesa tape for noise protection, maintaining the professional standard our customers expect.
