retrofit heated seats in '07 R56 base

Hi All, not sure if someone covered this yet, I have a 2007 base R56 and just got a donor car with heated seats and controls in it, I wanted to switch over to my car and was wondering if anyone has done this before, and what is involved coding, parts, ect.
Thanks

Some aftermarket solutions:

It was easy on the Gen 1 MINIs as there was a kit, on the Gen 2 MINI the system is more involved as there is a main harness to the seat, the toggle bank with the switches and the harness for that. I dont know anyone how has done the full factory thing. Other than this :

then you would need the wiring. check https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/ for wiring diagrams.
