GTDriver Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 Anyone DYI one up? Im thinking of trying to make one I am thinking of getting one of these and get my steering wheel reupholstering the over top of the elements. What do you think? Anyone know how much it would cost to get it reupholstered? http://polecatmirrors.com/cgi-bin/merchant2/graphics/00000003/radiantStrips.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flander Posted December 16, 2009 Share Posted December 16, 2009 If your going to all the trouble of have it reupholstered, why not hard wire it instead of using the lighter plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh for sure, I am also thinking about putting a 3 setting dial on the back of the information button cluster... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTDriver Posted December 21, 2009 Author Share Posted December 21, 2009 Im not to sure about that at this point I am going to look into how the stock wires get there. Right now I am looking for a used wheel to tear apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd be really curious how you would go about using them to heat a steering wheel, and how you are going to supply power. as far as I know the Legacy/Outbacks aren't offered with heated wheels anywhere, which would mean no provision on the clock spring for power. It sure is nice in my wife's BMW though, I will say that.. __________________ ~Scott '05 Outback 2.5i Wagon Willow Green Opal/ Moss Green Metallic 225/60HR16 Bridgestone G009's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GTDriver Posted December 22, 2009 Author Share Posted December 22, 2009 Ya thats what they are for, so far they are the thinnest 12v heating element I can find. As for the clock spring if it comes down to it i will just take the s# button slot as I don't really use that button... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
