Adding Heated Washer Jets

Has anyone tried adding these? My 2007 MCS Has the auto wipers and i was comparing my mini against my friend's that has the heated jets and it looks like some of the wiring is already in place on my car.
I searched thru the forum but could find any info.

The WDS had some information about when those heaters kick on (I just don't remember, I think it was below 37°F). Look at RealOEM.com to find the part numbers required. There maybe some coding of the body module required to activate the heaters, but I am not sure. I hope to have a programming interface soon so I can dig into the computers with DIS & NCS Expert.

Looks like they don't differentiate the heated nozzles. Very strange!

Just went to the WDS for the R56 and they don't say that non-heated is even an option. I have a feeling you may already have them....can you confirm they are not connected electrically?

Washer jets
The washer jets are heated electrically. This prevents the washer jets freezing in cold weather. The washer-jet heating system consists of heating resistors. The washer jets are electrically activated via the JBE at an outside temperature below 3 °C.

I have one nozzle that has a harness coming out of it, the other one does not, but the socket is there ready for a plug. I also have the wires going down the driver's side fender. You can see them if you lift up the cover on the cowl. Just curious. it's not a feature that's worth it for us Texas folks, but if it was easy enough (no dealer trips) then I'd do it.
