Can you install Thermoelectric Cup Holder Center Console in a 2021 X5??

I'm reading online that BMW dropped the Thermoelectric Cup Holder Center Console for 2021. My M50i is on order and wonder if I can simply install it in my vehicle via buying it as a part and is there power there to power it? Thoughts

I think the power connector is right there inside the console. I also don’t think any coding is required for it to work.
I want to have it just because it used to be there and was purposely removed because of the “chip shortage”.
Will i ever use it? Unlikely. But i want to have it.
Same story with soft-close doors. I will install the SC motor this way or another on the driver’s door. No one else uses it anyway.
Same with acoustic glass.
I’ll order it from the Parts Dept and either them or their body shop will install it.

Roch is from Canada where the heated/cooled cup holders were still offered for their MY21 G05. the OP should've been more specific that it was dropped since the MY21 U.S. G05

I'm interested in this as well. I found the part somewhere online for about $400...kind of pricey but would be a nice addition to a slightly de-contented vehicle. I would use the cooling feature to keep my lo-carb Monsters cold.

It is expensive and not sure if the wiring is even there. Most likely not.
Here is one for sale:
