Acura TLX Type-S Heated Steering Wheel Install DIY 

HAHA! Yeah it sends you to the roof. Good reason to disconnect the battery, I guess I should do that.

You can do it! The trim on the wheel is finicky but not impossible for sure.

Yea it was really not all that hard. Hah don't forget Heeltoe when it comes time to buy parts!

So glad it helped! Almost time to enjoy the heated wheel with Fall upon us.

can you provide link to MDX A-Spec heated steering wheel you ordered ....does it come with everything needed ?

I Want to know as well​@@petertiberiust3171

order a heatling steer wheel it come every needed?

You can do it! It is honestly not bad.

Lol that is a good tip and without needing to move my video setup I might have done so. It was cold in the shop./

Warm hands FTW

No we are planning a video for welcome lights and illuminated sills soon!

Great question, that would be awesome but somehow I doubt it.

Standard on higher models, and the MDX-S, not this gen TLX-S :/

I don't know what you are talking about.

Great question, I don't have an answer. We never have tried to turn the screen off completely.

@@Heeltoe. Thank you for replying.

Upgrade the car to make it suit your needs and desires better. Not to raise the value. It doesn't work. It barely works on homes any more, to be honest.

It should work certainly, here is the link www.heeltoeauto.com/interior-steering-wheel/honda/acura-accessories-genuine-oem-heated-sport-steering-wheel-acura-tlx-2021-08u97-tgv-232a.html

That's interesting! We will be interested in helping you get this sorted out. Please contact us at support@heeltoeauto.com

Clips work great, it is definitely not a rule that they will eventually rattle.

A few seconds after I mentioned the codes I started the car and mentioned the codes cleared.

Honestly not that long, maybe 2 hours? Fiddling with the plastic bits was pretty annoying and that really was the hardest part.

Not sure I would use the word "unacceptable" and base it solely on the price of the car. The design and intent of the car should demand it. The Type-S being a performance model I can see why this was not on the car from the get go. A HUD, all around camera...those are features I definitely would have expected.

@@Heeltoe. The way Acura do their packages is so odd. You can't have the HUD or 360 camera's on the TLX without going to the Advance but they make the A-Spec look so much better. It's just so stupid. Can't have everything without going PMC but then they make it ultra rare and insanely expensive. At that point the competitors make more sense - What are they thinking? - They did it with the MDX (You can go TYpe-S "Advance") - why can't they do it with the TLX? - It should of been a given at that price point. Design or Intent? The price alone should determine it. It's supposed to be a "premium sedan" (Their words, not mine) At that point you may as well just pay the little bit more and get a more premium car that's also faster. This is a deal breaker for me given how cold it is in the Winter where I live and because of the Wife. Once you've had it its hard to get into a car that doesn't have it. At $55,000 (minimum) it indeed is, unacceptable in my opinion. After watching so many videos on here about the Type-S after thinking of getting one, this is a huge disappointment. You could also buy a T8 Volvo S60 for the same money (give or take) and absolutely blitz this car in terms of performance while also getting some EV range thanks to the hybrid as well as every available feature in a much more premium interior. Edit: NO WIRELESS CARPLAY EITHER. I mean, come on. You can get that in a $30,000 Honda Civic.

@@Heeltoe. Christ, even the Kia Stinger comes with this, 360 camera's AND a HUD. ITS CHEAPER AND FASTER.

@@Michael_M991 *shrug* The level of refinement and the design on the TLX I am really quite happy with for the money.

@@Michael_M991 I hear you on all fronts and on many levels agree. onda fans have been dealing with this for ages. The true enthusiast option/equipment/color combos never seem to be readily available. They put a ton of development into powertrain and platform development, and then kinda skimp on options and features. No ability ro special order a car with items or without, like you can with European models. It seems a little unfair to lock us into packages with no customizability. That said, I don't buy a car or the gadgets. I buy it for the looks, the drive, and the reliability. The car does all that well. 9/10 times I am just listing to the AM/FM don't gaf about hud, and only really care about the all-around camera when parking which, tbo, it does need because this b* is big. Plus, I am a Honda-Acura loyalist. "I could get a _____ for that" is not really a consideration for me, period.

Yea 3 seconds later I started the engine and the lights cleared immediately.

There is some mechanical aptitude needed but honestly, this is not a hard job as jobs go. If you aren't sure, professional installation is always an option.

Yeah I really never do. But you do you, manual says to disconnect it so you should.
