Has anyone done this on new Fords? Don't feel like paying CAD 3300 for a heated wheel and heated seats that I could mod myself

Story of my life....Good luck
Every time I try to save a buck like this it usually cost me more.
It's all about risk vs reward right?Good luck

Yea I figured transfering the airbag over would be the trickier partMost likely not easy at all and also potentially very dangerous given the airbag right there. Also, don't forget to include your time in the money calculation. IMHO, the opportunity cost is too high to do it yourself. Also, you get more things for that $3300 beyond the heated seats and wheel. Click the button and get what you want right from the factory and get a warranty with it.

Very helpful response hope the rust matches hot pepper red to save you a few more bucksI was thinking of ordering my truck is raw steel and painting it myself. I wonder how much I could save.?.?
The F-150 link? That parts list they provide is more like $1065 with the jobber discount rate I have with the local dealer.I checked the link regarding the heated steering wheel upgrade. If I were to guess, I'd say he probably spent close to $50 on the parts.
Yep more things for That $3300 that you really don't need. But I can install my own leather wrap steering wheel bill and I set a seat covers from katskin.

Its available in both. He was asking about steering wheel heat though right? Seat heat is a much simpler topic.I don't know if it's DIY type of work but there are definitely after market seat heaters available. In the U.S. anyway there are shops that can install them but it's not Ford OEM heated seats. It's usually available at places that install remote starters and stereo equipment. I would bet it's available in Canada if that's something you were interested in looking into.
Have you found an answer to this? I noticed how old this thread is lol for me i decided i would either pay someone to swap the steering wheel for heat and leather, or just leather wrap it myself and live without the wheel heat… which pains me… but its 60 dollars vs much moreHas anyone done this on new Fords?
