I installed a wheel on a Jag years ago which was really easy

Any concerns about invalidation of your Lexus warranty re:steering wheel related controls and electronica?

In checking the dealership on-line inventories of 2024 ES 350’s, the photos show wood on steering wheels only in Luxury models over $50,000. Any non Luxury model has leather steering wheel, sometimes heated but no wood, even where wood trim is an option on the car. To find wooden trim on steering wheel, Luxury or higher seems mandatory.
I guess I just got lucky back in 2021, being able to have wood trim on my heated leather steering wheel as an additional option with the Premium Package on my otherwise well equipped base model. I’ll just keep the perfect car I have unless and until I can find another one that’s perfect. At these prices and with a low miles beautiful 2021, I won’t even consider buying a new one unless everything is perfect and priced very right. Maybe at the end of MY 2024…
