Third year (this year) they have stopped working. The bike was having problems starting and I eventually figured out the grips were coming on with the ignition (but not showing they were on) managed to turn them off while moving the wire from the controller around.
The last set I had started coming on by themselves and couldn't be turned off except by disconnecting the battery. The switch was replaced under warranty but when I went to pick the bike up, the grips were warm and the battery was flat. Into the bin they went.
Heated grips can be great but after my experience with Oxford grips on two bikes I would consider heated grips as long as they were not made by Oxford.
Sorry, I now see this is an old thread and I already commented on p1. At least I don't seemed to have changed my mind.
