2011 with Bluetooth Heated Seats?

I have seen a few 2011 S models listed for sale with Bluetooth Heated Seats. Was this an option on these cars or is it an aftermarket addition?

Heated seats were an option. Bluetooth (and I think a couple of other things with it) was also an option.

My vote is for a comma missing from the descriptions of those cars...

Our 2011 Justa Clubman has both Bluetooth and Heated seats. But I can't use Bluetooth to control the heated seats. Checked the coding with BMWhat, nothingthing there.

Bluetooth Heated Seats (BHS) -- capturing Bluetooth energy to generate heating in seats -- was all the rage in the automotive industry when it was introduced in 2011. However, BMW and other manufacturers were sued and lost to a patent troll in East Texas. The jury awarded the huge damages, and high royalty demands effectively killed the future of BHS.
