Found photos of the center stack online from a local dealer with BB+BB in stock. Not heated. Heavily considering placing a new order for a higher trim. Heated steering wheel was a specific selling point for me when I added that package. ?
Mine is leather wrapped, yes. Just not heated.

It wasn’t a major priority for me, but I was certainly under the impression I had paid for and would be receiving it. The BB is awesome, but this was disappointing.

I’m going to agonize the next few days if I should give up my current order and go with an OB. If I do, the only item I want from the OB package is the moonroof, otherwise I’d go without.

Can you say where in the menu options it is? I have also getting a BB + BB so I am curious as well.
On our Explorer it is on the Climate screen in the upper left corner. I test drove a BL + BL yesterday and the heated wheel was on and great. I never took the time to see how it was operated. They couldn’t sell it to me or I would own it. I have to wait for my order to come in.

Here’s shot of B&P tool, mentioning it when you add the BB package to the BB trim.

Yes, but if you click the circled i, it only says Leather Wrapped. That doesn't mean the B&P page shouldn't be updated to accurately reflect that it isn't a heated steering wheel.

I understand, there are many discrepancies on what is included on B+P.

If it makes you feel better the 1,600 paid for: power driver’s seat, heated front seats, power moonroof, reverse sensing system, leather steering wheel, and wireless charging pad. I know you thought you would get both but if you could only have one, heated seats warm you up much better and faster than the steering wheel
For what it's worth I had a heated wheel on my Explorer......leather was peeling after 1 year and it seemed to irritate the skin on my hand (rash).......problem went away after I sold it !!....lol

Yes, I understand that. But if you are customizing piece by piece, this is what you see.
Seems a little odd to expect folks to click the “i” when they are clearly adding what they expect to be a heated steering wheel.

It’s awesome, I love it. But Ford essentially sold me something I didn’t get.

My wife has her steering wheel and seat heat (on high) on from Nov -April with no issues on the wheel or leather seat.

@Shiskamba, well learn from me I guess. Not a bad case to take into your dealership and act *shocked* that your BB doesn’t have the heated steering and get a bit knocked off of your sticker price.

It’s also on the website showing the build/ ship date. My guess is if we can’t find a way to turn it on it’s probably a fuse away from working.

I started to guess at this as well... was looking yesterday at the parts website trying to spot various differences in the steering wheels used by Ford. Several listed heated, with or without paddle shifters or ACC. My question would be if included, how would you turn it on and off without the switch. I’m new to even the concept of Forscan

The switch could be in SYNC buried in a menu...it's like that one some Fords (who knows why).

Appears that way....I love my BB, but I am not exactly happy at the moment.
Same...I really wanted the full dashboard screen and heated steering wheel. However did not want leather seats. Hated that I had to pick my poison.

Sorry for multiple edits on this - I am trying to figure this out.

Last week I took delivery of my BB+BB. On the B&P tool, it says the steering wheel is heated. However, I don’t see any way to turn it on. I am hoping I am just blind and someone with BB+BB can show me how to turn it on...but I am thinking that I took delivery of a BB+BB without that feature (and still paid the $1595).

No heated steering wheel with BB package, just leather wrapped.

Something slow
Any one else with OCD that is driven crazy by the heated steering wheel being on the passenger side of the row instead of in the blank space between the driver's heated seat & - fan button!?!?! My head is going to pop, why did they do that!?!?! :angry:?‍♂
This cluster was originally designed for the Ford Kuga, so the engineers in Europe placed the button next to the (right hand drive) driver. The blank switch on the other side would be used for the heated windshield option on the Kuga. I've been trying to get them to change it =/
