Yes but question is would you pay BMW if they could give you a heated steering wheel and heated screen with a click of a mouse?

All the other features can already be hacked using CAN Emulators and i would imagine it will be the same deal with this.

Obviously its cheaper to make all seats with the same components that physically have them different
