👍👍. From what I have read it looks like the heated seats are not affected on the CT5 so it may just be the steering wheel that we have to be concerned about. Also saw that Cadillac will be able to retrofit the steering wheels if we don’t get ours so we may be in good shape after all.

Just ordered and received a set of clear all weather mats which I have bought for previous cars before. They are called Hexamat and our custom fit and really do a great job. They hold up well and a very easy to clean and have the cutouts for the clips that are in the floor of the car to hold them in place. Front and rear set is about $115

looks like good new for those of us waiting for a CT5:
Cadillac has announced that it will retrofit vehicles that were built without the heated and ventilated seat as well as heated steering wheel features sometime in 2022. As Cadillac Society reported earlier, the comfort features became temporarily unavailable due to the ongoing global microchip shortage wreaking havoc in the automotive industry.

As a result, Cadillac was forced to temporarily restrict availability of heated and ventilated seats plus heated steering wheels as supply constraints prevented the inclusion of the features in some 2022 model year vehicles. The deletion of heated steering wheels affected the CT4 and CT5 luxury sedans as well as the XT4, XT5 and XT6 luxury crossovers, while heated and ventilated seats were withheld from only the XT4, XT5 and XT6. Owners will be credited with $50 per vehicle to compensate for the inconvenience.

So my dealer today and spoke to the sales manager who told me my car will still be built week of December 13th even though Cadillac chat says I’m at status code 3100. Cadillac Facebook Chat also tells me that the dealer has the most current information so I guess we’ll just wait until the 13th to see what happens. No further info on the heated seat or steering wheel issue.

I ordered the climate package which includes all those goodies but have not heard back from the salesman yet as to whether or not I’m affected by the chip shortage. We’ll be seeing him next Monday or Tuesday so hopefully we’ll get an update then

That’s great news I was told exactly the same thing on my premium luxury ct5. All we can do is hope that they stay true to their word

Seems like there are a few changes for 2022 including now the Power Tilt and Telescope steering wheel is included with the premium luxury package. Colors like emerald green and Shadow metallic are gone and I think two others have been added.
