Don't need it here in TX. But 5 bills is better than 2 Gs.

 

The whole wheel would be better, but I don't mind the limitation. I tend to drive the 4R more with two hands than my other vehicles.

 

This heat on 9/3 or all the way around? Anyone buy it?

 

I'm just part of his Facebook group. He answered that question, actually.

 

Anyone ordering?

 

You ordering? I'd like to but not sure I can for a while, need to save up. Need some PPF on my doors first.

 

I Ordered it. Will report on quality once it is delivered. Also have Old Reds retrofit harness. So depending on how well this is made, might still go the OEM route.

 

I am not. Not really needed here in TX. Just seeing it posted and passing along to those looking into it.

 

Sweet. Good stuff. I'd like to wait and see a few reviews to ensure it's solid. Good looking wheel and love the design. Old man reds seems too complex and costly for my specific ability. No knock on him as his stuff is amazing, but I'm not technical enough to install.

 

The CTH option is a good price if you compare it to buying all the OEM parts separately. I would buy this if I didn't end up figuring out how to add heat to my steering wheel on my own before this was announced. You can save yourself many hours going this route. (No, I am not affiliated with CTH in any way). Just comparing to what I had to do to retro a heated steering wheel onto my 2015.

For someone who has never messed around with the clockspring and steering sensor sensor before, I had to do it with my mod and to be honest it is not that difficult. Even if you accidencally let the clockspring turn unwillingly it is simple to get it to the right position. There is a window indicator on the clockspring to let you know it's in the right position. Sev in his video makes it sound like the end of the world - it isn't.

 

Just throwing it out there for future reference. If you do this mod, or any steering wheel mod, there is a chance you may tweak your steering sensor. Resulting in unwanted lights coming on on your dash cluster. The TRACTION and POWER STEERING lights came on for me thus disabling these functions. If this happens, you may need to replace the steering sensor, part number 89245-30110. Once I replaced this sensor the dash lights went away. Documented in this thread here;

So did anyone purchase or confirm if the CTH wheel is heated 360 or just at the 9 and 3 positions?

 

Sev says on his video it's 360

 

Any word on a new batch of harnesses from OldRed?

 

Follow his Instagram. It'll be the easiest way to know when he drops them. He takes his time between batches, as he should, so it could be sometime until the next one.

 

Checked daily if not hourly. I think I have too much free time.
