HELP! Programming with SDS

Hi, I have retrofitting heated/ventilated seats with lumbar, headlamp washers, and power folding mirrors. Everything has been wired to fuse boxes, pse pump, switches, and modules. I currently have them installed with the led light display working in the dash, but the seats will not heat or cool. The fan does not come on when I press the cool feature. My car is a 98 E430. Does anyone know how to add features with the (SDS) Star Diagnostic System? If so, PLEASE let me know how because when I took my car to the dealership, they told me that they could not program this additional feature with SDS because it did not come with it originally. Thank you in advance for your support.

No, I do not have a SDS. I have had the seats programmed and the heat and lumbar functions are working, BUT the ventilated feature is not working when I press the button. I opened the backrest and the fans are not running when the ventilated feature is on. What do I need to do to get the fans to come on inside and underneath the seats? Also, the illuminate light under the seats does not come on. What do I need to do to get these light to come on? I thought the lights should come on when the doors are opened or when the car is on?
