Flat Bottom Steering Wheel

You never know... it might. Sometimes its cheaper to put the wiring in and just leave out the button. The BMW 1 series had all the wiring, electronics, and light bulbs installed for rear fog lights, but didn't come with the button. All you had to do was buy a $20 headlight switch and boom... rear fog lights. Considering the heated steering wheel is activated with a button on the steering wheel itself, it may very well work. Not to get your hopes up!
Should be a simple swap over, just gotta find a wheel. We can help you with the instructions i'm sure.

If it's any use I fitted and SVR wheel to my MY14 S. The SVR wheel has heating, but my S did not and clearly is not wired for it either, missing the appropriate heavy duty cable to feed it.
I ended up having to retrofit my S buttons and loom into the SVR wheel as nothing worked, leaving heated wheel to contemplate as a future project
My guess is at a minimum I'll need a new slip ring to carry power up the column, so will likely be too much effort

Unless you are very advanced level, dont mess with anything to do with airbags yourself, both because you can seriously injure yourself if you set it off while working on it, and because if you dont get the reinstall right it might not operate properly in an accident.

Changing wheel
Disconnect battery, wait 15 mins. Unclip and remove the connectors
if it's not correclty reconnected the airbag light will be on so obvious it's not correct.
I've removed dozens off times on many cars without issue and know of no one on the many forums I frequent who's done worse than trip the light and needed to reset it.
