Hello all,
I recently purchased a ‘23 Activ about a month ago so I have not had a real reason to use my heated steering wheel since it’s August in NC. I have tested the heated seats and they work great. In my optimism I’m hoping the heated steering wheel only works at lower temperatures. Has anyone experienced issues with their heated steering wheel not working? I will be checking with my local dealership but wanted to reach out here as well.

Do you have the chips for Heated Steering Wheel And Rear Park Assist? Saw some Activ’s being delivered without.

 

[Kevinsg3]

I’m not sure how I would know what chips are installed. I’m pretty sure I have the chip for the rear park assist. If a person or a car is behind me while I’m backing up it will alarm me.

I think that is a function of the software for the camera.. i believe the rear park assist is the graphic you get in the DIC in the middle of the instrument cluster. shows lines when you are close to something when backing up.

I do have that feature. Everything seems to work except the heated steering wheel. That’s why I was wondering if it had to do with outdoor temperature

thats all the help i could give.. i have a '21 and i dont get a heated steering wheel unless i park in the sun.

 

[Kevinsg3]

Haha!
I wonder if I could purchase the chip through my dealership and have them install it.

 

[psnyder53]

Check your window sticker. If you don’t have chip the verbage would be something like :
CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED W/ HEATED STEERING WHEEL; INCLUDES LATER RETROFIT
CREDIT - NOT EQUIPPED W/
REAR PARK ASSIST;
INCLUDES LATER RETROFIT

If you don’t have chip dealer will contact you to install when they come in, best to contact dealer to confirm.

 

[Kevinsg3]

You are awesome!
That’s exactly the verbiage on my sticker. I will discuss with my dealership.
thanks for the help!

I have a 2023 Trailblazer. Came without a heated steering wheel because no chip available.

Yup, 2023’s still being delivered without heated steering wheel chip. I haven’t heard of any retrofits happening. Best to contact your service team for information. My heated seats notification came from myChevrolet app as a recall notice.

Do you have the chips for Heated Steering Wheel And Rear Park Assist? Saw some Activ’s being delivered without. Bought Mine on 9/30/22. Still Waiting for the Heated Stearing Wheel Chip. Chilly Adirondack Mountains of NY here.

 

[Donkey work]

No chips yet ,I purchased on 12/1/22 don't see that many trailblazers around just a few

 

[psnyder53]

Nope, no chips for these two. I got heated seats a few months ago.

I was lucky the heated seats worked, I needed a vehicle right away my oil pump died in my Colorado,I'm hoping we get the chips before next winter,I never owned a heated steering wheel in any vehicle

Just got a 23 TB January 11, no heated steering and no rear park assist due to shortage. I have a heated seats button but they don't seem to work. Heated seats not listed on window sticker so I'm thinking they just decided not to include them. The car market is so weird right now. It's neither a seller's market nor a buyer's market. Quite a mess.... Waiting for retrofit notification...

I just checked my window sticker and heated seats not listed but they definitely work

Hmm, thanks. Maybe it takes a long time, I only do short drives.

I was trying to send a picture of the window sticker,it should heat up in about 5 minutes,I think it has 3 settings on the heater button
