Add the genuine Land Rover heated steering wheel to your vehicle. LR-Retrofit fits the heated rim, replaces the clock spring and programmes the steering column control module for full Touchscreen control.
What is a Heated Steering Wheel?
The heated steering wheel warms the rim through an integrated heating element. You activate it from the Touchscreen climate menu, and the wheel reaches a comfortable temperature within minutes. The system operates automatically and maintains a consistent heat level. It makes cold morning starts more pleasant and reduces the need for gloves during winter driving.
Why Retrofitting a Heated Steering Wheel with LR-Retrofit Makes Sense
- Genuine Land Rover parts: We supply the correct heated wheel or heating element, clock spring and wiring terminals for your VIN.
- Factory-level programming: Our technicians update the SCCM and Car Configuration File using JLR diagnostic equipment.
- Touchscreen integration: The heated wheel control appears in the climate menu exactly as the factory system.
- Preserves all controls: Your existing steering wheel buttons, audio and driver assist functions continue to work.
- Validated installation: We test the heating function, temperature control and all steering wheel buttons before we return your vehicle.
Compatible Land Rover Models
We retrofit heated steering wheels to Land Rover models that originally offered the feature. We confirm exact compatibility from your VIN before you book.
- Range Rover L405 (2013 onwards)
- Range Rover Sport L494 (2013 onwards)
- Range Rover Velar L560 (2017 onwards)

Some vehicles require an additional wiring connection from the clock spring to the Body Control Module. We identify this during the free VIN check and include it in your fixed quotation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the heated steering wheel switch appear on the Touchscreen?
Yes. We programme the SCCM and Car Configuration File so the heated wheel icon appears in the climate menu. You switch the heating on and off directly from the Touchscreen.
Do I need to replace my entire steering wheel?
You keep your current wheel if it is compatible. We fit the heated rim and clock spring, then connect the heating element. If your wheel lacks the heating element, we supply the correct heated wheel.
Does the heated wheel work with my existing steering wheel controls?
Yes. We preserve all existing steering wheel buttons, audio controls and driver assist functions. The heating element operates independently.
How long does the heated steering wheel retrofit take?
Most installations complete within half a day. We replace the clock spring, fit the heating element and run a full diagnostic test before you collect the vehicle.
