Just picked up a 2014 V6 S and the car is in excellent condition except for the steering wheel controls. The buttons look like they were attacked by the previous owner's nails. I found a steering wheel in great condition from a 2017 XE, it has the same button layout and heated steering option as mine. Will I able to use the XE steering on my 2014 S?

 

I have nothing useful to add, only that this photo once again underlines the fact that there is not a single bad angle on this car.

I'm enamoured!

 

I agree! Sir Ian Callum has delivered a masterpiece and I am glad I get to enjoy it.

 

I believe you're in luck.

Do a bit more digging if you'd like, but from the below comparability info, it looks like swapping should be no issue.

Thanks! I would need to buy the cruise and audio control switches, both sides are damaged terribly. I stumbled across a lucky ebay find this morning, picked up a lightly used F-Type sport steering!

 

Shouldn't have had to buy an entire wheel, those switch packs are available for sale individually at about $150 per side.

 

The car came with the regular steering and the one I picked up is the meatier flat bottom steering, which I really wanted. And I say I got lucky because the price I paid is very close to what the two switch packs would have costed me.

 

Great start to the weekend, got my flat bottom steering!

 

Hi Jaaaggg

I'm thinking of doing the same. Can I ask if the heating function works? Did your car originally have a heated wheel? I'm kind of hoping the wiring is there already and I can retrofit just by changing the wheel.

Thanks

 

Not sure about the F-type, but on the Evoque you also have to change the steering clock in order to add a heated steering wheel.

 

Thanks Paul, that would put it firmly in my "more trouble than it's worth" category.

 

Any step by step info on changing the wheel would be great, i have a non heated wheel would change to flat bottomed type if easily done, without heating function

 

This is the video that explains the evoque upgrade , you would have to establish whether there is a different clock spring for the f-type heated steering wheel, compared to the non heated. Hope it helps!

 

Is anyone better at interpreting the parts catalogs than I am? I can only seem to see one type of clock spring for the F Type rather than one version for heated and non-heated wheels. I also had a conversation on an F Type Facebook group where a user claimed that he had done a heated wheel retrofit by replacing the 'harness' which he said was cheap and easy to find in the parts catalogs. Helpfully he then disappeared and will no longer answer questions. I can't seem to find any part in all the steering sections of the catalogs that make any differentiation between heated and non heated parts except for the wheel itself.

Any help massively appreciated. I'm just entering my first winter with my F and due to chemotherapy side effects touching cold things is actually physically painful some days. A heated wheel would mean more days of using the car!

TIA

 

I had a look at some parts catalogues on line, and I could only find one clock spring with no mention of variants for heated wheel or not. T2R2314 on a 2016 model. I also had a look for the steering wheel wiring. More confusingly I could only find two types. one for a flat bottomed steering wheel, and one for a normal wheel. The flat bottomed one was heated T2R1047, and the normal wheel wasnt (w/o heated) T2R1041. So that probably doesnt help. I will keep looking, what MY is your car?

 

Hi Paul,

Thanks for checking. You've found pretty much the same as I did, except I couldn't even find the different wiring for the two. I wonder if that *is* the difference as the switch packs are identical on the flat vs the round wheels so maybe the flat one is always heated... My car is a MY2014 V86S 'Vert

UPDATE: I found a few references on the web to indicate that T2R1047 is heated and T2R1041 is w/o heating. However I can't really make sense of this part - it looks like the wiring that would go inside of the wheel. I found an eBay listing that has actually photos of T2R1047 and it does show the heavy cable connectors that would attach to a heating element. Does anyone know which bit of that cable plugs into the car itself and whether that connection is the same regardless of whether the factory was a heated or non-heated wheel?

UPDATE2: Does it look to you from the photos in this eBay listing that the wiring is already present inside the new OEM wheel?

Thanks again

Sorry about the late response, my car already came with the heating function, so I just swapped to another heated steering wheel. If you don't have the option from factory, it is not easy to convert to a heated wheel (stated by my Jag mechanic). And I am of no help on how to do the swap because I just paid my trusted mechanic to do the work.
