Yes, heated seats will need to be added to the VO for various modules.

You can get the button strip below the climate control that has the seat buttons, but LCI cars had another option. The LCI CC panel had heated seat buttons below the blower speed rocker. It's a cleaner look if you don't already have the additional button strip for hill descent control or rear sunshade. I got the whole LCI CC panel with heated seat buttons for $50 on ebay. Plugged right in and functioned 100%, but the heated seat buttons will be dead until VO update.

You'll need to get the seat control modules with your new seats.

You'll have to add a few wires between the passenger module and the junction box in the passenger footwell/fusebox location.

I'm doing heated seat swap as we speak on a LCI e92, so my situation is a little different in terms of the requisite wiring/modules.
So if I just want to code out the active headrest I just need the new cc module and I'm good to go? Also if I have the lower buttons for hill decent can I get the new one with the heated seats down there or does it need to be with the cc? Thanks
