You can buy a used SWM with heated one and replace the steering wheel too. You might need to wire the positive and and ground though (Some builds are not pre-wired).
Then you can enable the heated steering wheel. However, you most likely will need to recalibrate the SWM for that, you will need VIDA.
Even you wouldn't need to recalibrate, next time you cannot the VIDA after replacing the SWM, VIDA will force you to reload SWM software before installing total upgrade.
You don't need to perform total upgrade at all. Your car will continue to operate as it was before and many service centers don't even connect the VIDA and upgrade during periodic service although it's part of the regular maintenance officially.
If you buy a brand new SWM, you will need VIDA to reload it right after the installation. You can also add heated steering wheel officially. The software reload costs are exactly the same regardless if SWM is a used one or not.
So, basically it's up to you.
