I love my heated steering wheel. Does anyone else have trouble seeing the heated steering wheel indicator light under the icon?

I don't, but I generally leave mine on 8 months out of the year so once it is on it's on. When it is off, it's off.
I do notb have a problem seeing it. Course it's an actual button and it's not on the infotainment screen. But as 710 said I just leave it on it's been on since October when it dropped in the '30s, and I just leave it on. It only heats up enough to warm my fingers but it never gets overly hot so I just leave it on. Once it warms up outside I'll turn it off

This is a question specific to the 2025 since they do not have a physical button for the steering wheel heater. Turning it on/off for them is in the touchscreen infotainment, and the light showing that it's on is just an icon.

Captain Obvious- the icon doesn’t bother me, I have trouble seeing the red light on/off indicator under the icon.

Yes because it’s just a tiny red dot and hard to see. And I don’t want to take my eyes off the road to stare at it for long. I have hit the fan adjust multiple times in stead of the picture of the wheel. It’s a little annoying.
Nope

Lotta spice coming from someone who can't see something right in front of them....
Captain Jackass: I was replying to the person I quoted who was commenting about the 22-24 functionality.

I'm old 
Glad I bought a 24 Lariat with the buttons. More time for eyes on the road.

Isn't that why we have the co-pilot 360 so we don't have to stare at the road and can spend more time messing with the buttons on the dashboard?I'm old

I think his response was perfect. Most of us don’t have 2025’s and you didn’t specify in your post that you were asking about a 2025. We were all thinking, “nope no problem seeing the lighted icon at all. This guy needs to have his eyes checked”.
But then Colinl deduced by your eruption green avatar that you have a 2025 and he quickly figured out that the icon is different than what 95% of us have because of the move to the touch screen.
Unsure why you were irritated by his helpful answer.

Buttons and knobs rule. Easy to see what's on and offI'm old
And Pictures. Worth a thousand words of explanation.
A picture would have helped "Merrick"s explanation a lot.
Imagine how short This thread would have been if one picture would have been posted with a brief explanation.
