So I installed the leather steering wheel with the radio buttons on the back. Mine didn’t have them. Wheel and harness are all heated I don’t have the button on the dash for the heated wheel, but I got a spare center stack that has it. What else is needed? Gotta be a relay or timer someplace.
 
I know there is a thread on here for heated seats and steering wheel as I bookmarked it the other day. Unfortunately I deleted it as I decided I would go a different route.

I do recall a mention of the center stack with the switches and a specific steering wheel clock spring for the wheel.
 
On mine, all of the seat and steering wheel controls are on the 12 inch u connect screen.
Heat and cool.

You’ll need a different clockspring that has the heated wheel wiring, and you’ll need to add the heated seat module under the driver seat. You’ll need to use AlfaOBD to configure for heated wheel only.

Is the heated seat module a separate part or is it part of the "bag" part that is required for the heated/cooled seats?

Edit: got the answer myself. The heated seat module is called the Comfort Seat and Wheel Module (CSWM) and is necessary for heated seats, ventilated seats, and heated steering wheel. The bag is the actual duct that attaches to the blowers on the seat backs and bottoms and blows air along the front of the seat foams.

Also, if doing what OP is, you may need a new harness under the seat as well. Not sure if the heated steering wheel wires into the CSWM would be there if it wasn't originally an option.
