Yes wiring will already be there. You will need that centre console switch and the seats as you already know.

Do you have to replace entire seat or can a heating matrix be fitted to the existing seat?

I originally posted the way to do this in the 'How to' section of the E53 sub-forum...
Pretty easy to do - need the heated seats and the switch module - that's all.

Relay is pretty pricey and difficult to find.
