Does anyone know if you can install an aftermarket heated steering wheel in a 2021 Tacoma?

Posted on 11/30/2021 2:29:46 AM PST by nikos1121

I love a heated steering wheel. It’s one of those little creature comforts that if you have never had one then you’re not missing anything. On the other hand once you’ve had one it’s a feature you want to have on every vehicle you own.

My 2021 Tacoma did not come with a heated steering wheel although it is an option on some of their models.

Does anyone know if there is a Bona fide heated steering wheel upgrade for a 2021 Tacoma truck?

If it is an option, it may be wired to accept the heated wheel. Find out, and if so, purchase one and replace.

I’ve never had one of those but love heated seats! Not for warmth as much as for back pain relief

That's what I use mine for. Really helps on long drives.

I don't see a heated steering wheel as an option on a 2021 Tacoma.

https://www.toyota.com/tacoma/2021/features/interior/7594/7544/7582 Heated leather trimmed seats galore, but no mention of a heated steering wheel in any of the option packages.

If you know for sure that there is an option, I'd talk to the service department of your Toyota dealer to see if they can order the parts and perform the work, and reprogram the body computer to add the controls for a heated steering wheel. A new steering wheel at minimum will be required, and remember that a new wheel may also need a new air bag, which ain't cheap.

There are aftermarket heated steering wheel covers that plug into your cigarette lighter, but they look cheesy and will make your wheel thicker.

There's a gazillion on Amazon.
