Non-Heating Steering Wheel --> Heated Steering wheel?

How much would the dealer normally charge to do this swap, on a G05? Is it routine enough that I don't have to worry about airbag being negatively affected in any way? Thanks guys.

I imagine you would just swap out the entire steering wheel, airbag and all - so whatever the cost of the steering wheel (guessing $700) plus an hours worth of labor.

I remember researching this on my F30.... and it was considerably more complicated than I'd initially thought.

Buying a heated steering wheel was easy..... but in an F30, the car wasn't wired for it, so it required the installation of a wiring harness through the steering column.

Then, even after I did that... it required coding.

I decided not to do it. Wasn't worth the effort.

Not saying the G05 is the same.... I don't know, but I would be 100% certain before you go buying parts. The $700 steering wheel could turn into a $2000 job.

I recently went to my SA at BMW and asked if this was possible to do. I was told that it would require a new wire harness, which is something that is currently unavailable unfortunately.
Hopefully they will make one soon
