upgrading to heated steering wheel

[jwslam]

so i've always wanted heated steering wheel
and right now i honestly can't afford to change cars so i thought a nice little upgrade might be in order before winter rolls around (probably july... living in calgary right??)

anyways
so i have a 94 accord
and i was wondering.. would it be all that difficult to change up to a heated steering wheel?
where would i buy parts? and is there anywhere in town that would do this sort of thing?
and last important question: what price range should i be looking at?

thanks!

yea i saw that
that seems like a ridiculous idea
and not remotely good by the reviews

waste of money

it's a nice luxury option in the winter, but when you're driving a 84, save the idea for when you upgrade

he said he's driving a 94 accord. It shouldn't be too much for the upgrade either.

those little black gloves are like $3.. maybe you should spend the $ on your car's heating system (new thermostat or coolant flush) or an autostarter to have it warm when you get in :dunno:

yea that's true i guess
but i'm not interesting in wasting the gas on warmup w/ an auto starter
besides, my car doesn't have power locks so that'd be pretty dumb

usually when you install a starter you will get keyless entry as well .... :nut:

If the car has manual locks the keyless entry system won't work would it

You can add actuators.

[arian_ma]

All of these ideas sound great for a guy trying to heat up his 94 accord for as cheap as possible.
:banghead:

[theken]

You can add actuators? Ok. Don't see the cost value in adding linear actuators to make a power lock conversion.

[suen_boi]

Mittens are generally $0.99 and will keep your hands warm not only in the car, but also in between buildings to and from your car.
