That trim piece is easy enough to remove and wrap in vinyl. I did it to the gloss black trim piece on my TLX (granted, there’s more of it in the RDX and MDX).
With the same steering wheel function and that the Alcantara wheel is now available on the standard Teggy I'd say it's pretty darn likely
This is the connector I was talking about, in step 21.
We don't have the official accessory list just what was found leaked.This is the connector I was talking about, in step 21.
I’m curious if this same harness is used on the DE5. On one hand, I can’t imagine why it wouldn’t be. On the other hand, if it was the same harness, why would they not make the heated steering wheel an option?
they should have just gave us the type R seats in black with heat elements. It most likely wouldn't have cost anymore and made people happy.
well yeh but Honda seems to be one of those manuafuactor that you and see an feel the cost cutting way more than its competitors. Both Honda and Toyota living off their reliability reputation which isn't gonna keep customers returning.
I think these seats will be great for daily driving. How many here will track these? I'm not sure if I even fit comfortably in the racing seats.
Regarding the heated wheel, it's a standard feature in the Canadian Type-S (just like on the A-Spec + Tech), so I fully expect it'll be an available dealer add-on. Will you get color-matched stitching this year? Not holding my breath, but they get it up there.Have some more slightly disappointing news in features - keep in mind that this was still not a production model car so it “could” be possible to have on those or dealer add ons. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, maybe ask Joe in the comments to see if he can share anything.
If I remember right, the Aspec with tech here in the US had a heated steering wheel also. But I’d have to confirm later today. I’ll pay for the option if it’s available. To me it doesn’t make sense to have just heated seats without the wheel anymore nowadays.
Not standard in the US, unfortunately--it's an easy DIY or dealer add-on though. Approximately $500 for the wheel, and I believe dealers were selling the wheel with install for $750-$800. The only downside is, for folks with Orchid or Red interiors, dealerships seem to only be able to order the heated wheel with black stitching (stock is color-matched to the interior color, and the Canadian heated wheel has color-matched stitching as well).
