This is the Complete assembly with turn signal stalk

ML3Z14A664B

This is what they call the Airbag contact assembly
@Jesse-Infotainment Subscribed! April is coming soon. Please keep us posted with your progress.

@dhageremtp, also wondering if one can just order ML3Z14A664B on a Lariat without needing the complete assembly...

I am doing this already, If you have a lariat you may get away with the wheel and a SCCM with the heated circuit. The way to turn it on though is in the HVAC module so you may need a new one. Its about $500. You may be able to program the apim to turn it on and off. I cant say for sure. The heated wheel is actually control from the Driver seat module. Lariat and above have it already xl and XLT does not.

Since the wheel isnt wired to the HVAC control you may get away with having a soft button on the screen.

I ordered the SCCM its on back order until april.

There are two ways to order the SCCM.. as a complete assembly with the turn signal stalk and you can get just the airbag contact as they call it in 21. I order the entire assembly.
do you plan on adding the hvac control to this? It seems that the only control with the heated steering comes with ventilated seat. If that's the case, i guess we would have to retrofit ventilated seats too so we dont have a dead switch

I am trying without. You need a driver seat module the hvac controls don’t control the heated and cooled seats or steering wheel. The driver seat module controls all of that

Did anybody manage to add the heated steering wheel and it get it to work?
Looks like you guys were talking about this about a year ago.
Curious how the connection to the Body Control Module went.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I tried it by following the instructions in the gen14 forum. The install was fairly easy, but I still can't get the wheel to heat. I was able to get the button to show up on the screen but it was always greyed out no matter what changes I made to the different forscan modules
