With the steering wheel it is much more complicated. First, it needs to be pulled, which already costs about 5,000 rubles. And secondly, the activation of the function occurs through the “snail”, which also houses the wiring of the airbag and horn. Sometimes there is an “extra” thread, and sometimes there isn’t. So, the easiest way is to pick up the “steering wheel” of a car with heating and only add a key, for example, on the center console. Mechanics won’t let you lie: splines and mounting are just a matter of time and patience. The cost of complex ready-made work starts from 10,000 rubles.

Likewise with the windshield, which can be equipped with both full heating and “burners” for the wiper rest area at the customer’s request. In the latter case, everything goes quickly: the wires on a special substrate are glued inside and are driven by the wiring of the machine. The issue price is about 5000, if they are sculpted at the gas station. But full heating means replacing glass with all the consequences that entails. There may be 20,000 or 30,000 rubles.

The above options have little impact on the final price of the car (considering how much these cars cost today), but they greatly simplify the driver’s life in winter. And no one forces you to integrate all the “hot buttons” at once. In addition, some craftsmen, in order to save money, integrate options themselves. The same British, the pinnacle of European culture, generally offer heating pads instead of heaters. And what – cheap and cheerful!
