... tried gloves...? 
Yes, but if for EUR 100 (I got the steering from eBay) I can have it warm why losing time with gloves?
Plus I love lights and on the switch there is a little red led

ok you'll also need the new steering wheel control module. part#: Heater yes, SMG no = 61316953322; heater yes, SMG yes = 61316953321. It's about 150 i think.
Does your coilspring have 2 pins on the right and 6 pins on the left? if not, then you will need a new coilspring as well part#: 61319129499 for around 130.
Although, i think once you have all the right parts, you won't need any coding to make it work.

on the steering wheel control module side: 1,2,3,4,5,6 -> is for multifunction buttons etc.
5,3-> is for the heated steering wheel. KL30 is the 12V and KL31 is the temperature sensor.

Pics attached in the previous reply.
Yes, it looks like I need that module, about EUR 130.
MY2005, pre 09/05.

no no no about 130US not EUR! 
you need to check your coil spring to make sure you have the connectors for the heater. See in the pic. one side has 6 pins, the other has 2. The one that has 2 is for the heater.

if you don't mind waiting for the international shipping i can get the steering wheel control module for you even cheaper
You don't need to open the coilspring actually. that's just a pic i had when i did my push button paddleshift retrofit where i had to mod the coilspring.
Here's a pic of the coilspring as you would see it when it's in the car. in the red circle, there are the 2 pins. check your coil spring if you have that. if yes then you should be ok. if not then you need a different coil spring too, which i can of course get you cheaper as well

Ok, thanks!
But if the only one existing is that #-499, I should have the correct number of pins.
I will check asap.
