Yes changed mine with AlfaODB.Check the AlfaOBD threads. A few guys changed the heated steering wheel settings to get more or less heat. I believe you have to change the steering wheel material in the BCM.
My 2020 Built to Serve was set to wood/leather from the factory. Switched it to full leather and it didn't get so hot you could barely hold on anymore. Also did the three level, and usually just use low.Yes changed mine with AlfaODB.
I have a 2022 Limited
On the high setting it's too high to keep my hands on.
These are the settings to trigger the 3 modes
This is the original setting for my 2022 limited
Heated Seat Material Type: Default
Heated Wheel Material Type: Wood/Leather
This adds an additional level
Memory: Heated Wheel Level
Default
2 level (High/Low/Off)
***3 Level (High/Med/Low/Off)
You can also try changing this. It might affect how hot it goes under the settings.
Memory: Heated Wheel Material Type
***Wood/Leather
Full Leather
i am absolutely mind lost.. i don't have alpha OBD nor do i know how to read the changes you had stated.Yes changed mine with AlfaODB.

Have you read the replies at all? There is an adjustmentI could fry eggs on my '21 steering wheel. Can't believe there is no adjustment for that thing.
It seems to me this is the case with mine. I notice on cold days the wheel is warmer than on warmer days. Might be my imagination but that's how it always seems to me.Is it temperature dependent at all? Some guys with Jeep pickups were saying that there is a 40°F threshold. Below that more current is applied, wheel gets warmer. Above that the wheel doesn't get as warm for safety. I can't confirm if that's true or not.
Yup. Seats too. Sure seems that way to me.It seems to me this is the case with mine. I notice on cold days the wheel is warmer than on warmer days. Might be my imagination but that's how it always seems to me.

+1 same for meIt seems to me this is the case with mine. I notice on cold days the wheel is warmer than on warmer days. Might be my imagination but that's how it always seems to me.
Yeah, I thought that also but on some days I had to shut it off because it got overly warm. On other days drove 4+ hours with it on and it felt perfect. Could be the gremlins in the Uconnect also. My system has been wonky since the day I got it and haven't gotten around to taking it to the dealer.that would make sens, because i do feel it warmer on colder days
but it couls also be because it's colder that it feels that way ...
just like yours, mine gets very warm on colder days,. and today i could let it on for 40 min no problem,. but today it was warmer outside hereYeah, I thought that also but on some days I had to shut it off because it got overly warm.
