Hello xxx.

With your MY, the heated steering wheel switch wont fit physically. Additionally the function is already occupied by the automatic steering column function.
So beside the correct MY you also would need two more control units. One at the passenger side and one more within the steering wheel. Cost appr.€450

Is your steering wheel in "stone" color just by chance ?
I am actually looking for one. ;-)

Cheers, Frank

There are two misunderstandings at once.
I was trying to say that a retrofit is not possible for your model year. Because there is no place to install the switch it makes no sense to talk abou the rest, right ?

Last, i spoke about the leather color not the wood color. ;-)

Cheers, Frank
