This, like cooled seats, was a feature I once scoffed at - until I had it, tried it and now really like them both! Yea, first world comfort item maybe, but they're nice.

Your post made me go out and test my 2019 UL wheel... I found that the entire wheel is heated but the most heat comes from the 3 and 9 positions. I do get heat where the wood (bamboo) is located but not as warm as the other positions. FYI - this was not the case with my 2013 Lux 350. On that car it was only 3 and 9...

Funny, I had to do the same thing - but only because I was heading out anyway. Anyway, I agree with your post, and might add that both our 2015 ES and 2016 NX only heated the 9 & 3 positions. As far as I know, the 2019 ES might be the first Lexus with entire wheel heated?

Because it was all wood except for the 3, 6 and 9.

I stand corrected. The steering wheel in my 2024 ES350 UL does get warm all the way around. In the places (top and bottom) where there are wood inserts, the wood part, of course, does not warm up, but the back side of that part of the wheel does heat up.
My previous RC with a heated steering wheel only had heating elements at the 3 and 9 spots; this is a nice upgrade.
