Retrofit a heated steering wheel on a 2021 Mini SE?

[Augustus_Sinclair]

I’ve been looking at a 2021 Mini SE with the Iconic package, and while it checks most of my boxes, it doesn’t have a heated steering wheel. I’ve been researching whether a retrofit is possible and was hoping for some input.

1. Has anyone here done a heated steering wheel retrofit on a Mini SE?
2. What parts are needed, and where can I find the correct part numbers?
3. Is this a plug-and-play swap, or does it require coding/software updates?

Any insight from those who’ve modified their Mini’s would be really helpful.

I just found this vid on YT, and it’s pretty much exactly what you need. Give it a watch!

Retrofits are tricky, but some have swapped steering wheels successfully. You’ll likely need a heated wheel, wiring, and coding
