I do laugh however when people say "I have a pair of gloves they work fine" - to those I say "then you have never tried a heated steering wheel "
Not even 5 minutes. My Dodge has both heated seats and wheel, and the steering wheel heats up to warm within 15-20 SECONDS. Seats I start feeling after about 45 seconds. Friend's BMW (2012 3-series) has heated seats but not the wheel, but they heat up within a minute or so as well.
