Hi
Have read few threads on US forum with similar questions. Unfortunately its a bit of a hassle - heating mats are not there so you need to add them (or like others - replace the whole seat). Then you need to change the waterfall console to the one with heated switches AND program the whole thing to the car ECU so Vida or dealer job. All in all - not worth it.
Much cheaper option - get aftermarket heating mats, put them onto your existing seats and wire it separately with switch bypassing the whole "coding to the car" nonsence. Less expensive and much simpler.
Btw - I was in the similar position as you, coming from heated leather on old S40 to non heated on my V50, but learned to live with it as neither of the above options was worth the hassle for me. But I cant understand anyone ordering car from dealership with leather seats and no heating... :/
