Any of you notice the same, or should I have them check it out?

Same here. Never bothered to bring it up to the dealer. It's so light I barely know it's on sometimes. I've had many other cars where it's nice and toasty.

It's been in the low twenties this week, and the stupid steering wheel does not really heat up. It get's warm, and then cools off quite quickly.

I have a recollection is felt warmer last winter, maybe it gets worse over time. Regardless, not very happy with it at the moment.

If anyone finds a way to change it or gets feedback from a dealer, please let me know

Hmmm...have to get my VAG cable out and see if the temp setting for the wheel can be changed.

While it would be preferable if the heat level wasn't tied to the cabin interior temp, the biggest annoyance for me is they didn't provide a DIS indicator light to show if it's on. Considering the level of tech in the C7, it's really surprising you have to push a button to see if something's activated.
