03' GLE heated steering wheel in a 01' GLE

(it wasnt an option in a 01 GLE)
Is it possible to use a heated 03' steering wheel in a 01' and if so how difficult if at all? (scale 1 - 10)

depends how comfortable you are with some custom wiring and if you have the proper airbag... I will be doing this to my 01 SE before winter as well as rewrapping the entire wheel

You'll need a heated steering wheel clock spring for sure. On you're car its likely going to be all custom wiring because I don't believe the smart entry control has a timer for the heated wheel. So you'd likely have to run a dedicated circuit that you turn on and off manually.

I have the complete wiring for my 2002 that I need to get installed, just haven't gotten far enough along yet.

[QUOTE=Kevin Ellis;8831345]Sarin,
Thanks for that info...very helpful...So can I use the clock spring from the donor car and with that, all I would need to do is get custom wiring to dedicated circuit that you turn on and off manually, right ?
