On both my 3LZ '23 Z06s the non-leather (CF) parts are heated.

Not sure how you got to the answer of just the leather is heated. On other cars I own just the leather is heated by both my 23 Z06s the non leather part is heated.

Can't answer specifically, but on other vehicles I've had with heated steering wheels that were combo leather & other hard material, while the whole wheel is heated, the hard material (wood, CF, etc) may not transmit the heat as well as the leather, making it seem like only the leather area is heated.

I feel like the CF warms my hands better than the alcantara part and I love it! ymmv.
