Heated Steering Wheel does not stay warm
I have an A-Spec and added the Heated Steering Wheel option. It heats up immediately, but seems to cycle from heating and cooling down. The heat is never consistent after the first minute of heat. It was 20 degrees the other day and when I turned on the heated steering wheel, the heat was immediate, but the wheel cooled off even before the car was up to temp. I find myself constantly moving my hands searching for the next heated spot. Is this normal for Acura's? None of our other vehicles with heated steering wheels cool down until the wheel is turned off. The dealer told me it is normal and works like the rear window defroster. Not sure why I paid $600 for a heated steering wheel that is only heated some of the time.
My navigation also does not take addresses, verbally or physically entered. The tech sat with us in an A-Spec the dealer had on the lot and it's navigation did the same exact thing. So I was basically told that this is normal...normal....are they kidding...what is the point of navigation if is does not navigate?
Thanks for any help or suggestions with this!

Verbal inputs for navigation also work fine.

EFR- When you add a heated steering wheel to the ASpec, is it the same style wheel or is it the advanced wheel? If I understand correctly, the ASpec wheel has a different leather pattern and stitching. I assume the paddle shifters are separate from the wheel and don't get changed? Thanks!
