The addon package that includes seat heating is 900 EUR for a model I just randomly selected from the online configuration tool.

The "hack" to enable it is a cable and a switch. No digital rights management can prevent that.

Monitor how much current is being drawn from the battery, and if it's more than what's calculated from all of the authorized OEM things, then hard-brick the ECU.
