    Default upgrading to heated steering wheel

    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

    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

    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 ....
    trying is the first step towards failure

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

    You can add actuators.

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

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

    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.
