My bike finally arrived and I love it so far. I am confused about the heated grips button. It does not do anything when I press it. Someone told me that it is just a remnant from other models and is inoperative, but the owners manual suggests otherwise. Anyone out there have the real answer?

2016 Audace Heated Grips?
- Thread starter Vito J Carabetta
- Start date
Heated grips are an optional accessory. Everything is in place for you otherwise. If you have a ride by wire model, they are not available from Guzzi - and the 1400 version is NLA (No Longer Available); https://gtmotocycles.com/products/oem-heated-grips
Normally, no problem for a 2016 model everythng is in place, yes.
The problem is only for euro4 models with the new buttons and CC.

Thanks. It does have the electronic cruise control, so I think I am out of luck then.

I have a set of Koso Apollos on the way (for my 2018 Eldorado) , I'll let you know about them in a while . Peter
Yes, I do. Electronic cruise control is present , functional and visible. Its presence is physical evidence that ride by wire, that cannot be seen, is there and operative on this model. The heated grip button is then just vestigial from the prior model. Thanks for clearing it up.
Ride by wire (for the non-heated grip models) can be clearly seen by the lack of throttle cables, not cruise control.

As I understand it, all models have cruise control and all are ride by wire, but they are physically different. The first models 2014-2016 had the cruise control on the RH Bar and had physical/visible throttle cables connected to a ride by wire "Demand Sensor" under the tank. That sensor caused a lot of problems for some and is big bucks to replace.
Check out the P0155 error thread here https://www.guzzitech.com/forums/threads/getting-the-service-urgent-error-code.18367/
In 2017 Guzzi switched to a pure ride by wire setup with the sensor in the throttle grip and no visible throttle cables. At this time the cruise control moved to the LH Bar and somewhere along the way, the heated grips got dropped (at least the option of guzzi oem ones did). Some have fitted aftermarket versions like Oxford to compensate.

I will get to the point. Issues about the 2017 model are irrelevant . My bike is a 2016, and the cruise control button is on the right side. There is a heated grip button on the front side on the left that does nothing when pressed. Can this bike be fitted with OEM heated grips?
Thank you all kindly for your assistance.

Yes - 99% sure - It's not 100% because I haven't done it myself, but the OEM heated grips are listed for 2016 Audace

If they're still available, you might be stunned by the price.
A cheaper alternative is the Koso Apollo grips mentioned above. I have a set on my Indian FTR1200S, and they are hotter than the Guzzi versions which I have on my Cali 1400 bikes.

I'm not sure if I mentioned it earlier , but I have Koso Apollo grips installed on my 2018 Eldorado . Do not assume
under any circumstances that these are a simple slip on ! The throttle tube is significantly larger in diameter than
your usual tube . Mine took hours of careful sanding to reduce it's diameter and also keep it round for maximum
grip when hot . Get sloppy and they'll twist when heated . They work a treat and the controller on the LH grip is genius !

You assume that people actually come here and READ. That's assuming a great deal as most just want to be spoon fed unfortunately.
I have the Koso grips on my 2017 V7 III, they are fantastic. Well worth the money.
