I found a few different threads that touched on this but most focused on getting the heated seats to work. If I just get a new steering wheel and clock spring will the heated steering wheel work? I understand i would need to get the center panel if i wanted a physical button but i have alpha OBD so thinking i can just turn on the screen option? If anyone has part numbers for these I will gladly take them. I have a 19 bighorn

You will still need the heated seat/wheel module that is located under the pass seat--even though you only want the heated wheel...

On my 21 Bighorn, I had to run 2 wires from module to below center seat, and of course clockspring and wheel. But that was after heated seats all installed.
 
Clock spring 68545657AB
Wheel was used and I was unable to match to updated number. But a new one is
6xs002x7ab I believe. They very a lot, but this should be all leather bighorn. I am not sure if it would work with just soft keys, I changed center stack.

How did you know which wires you needed and where they went? I have the console. I have added wires in previous vehicles but always knew which number pin to put them in. Idk how people know these things 🤣 Did you also have to run a different harness for your center stack?
 
I looked up the wire diagram on Alldata. In my case I could see I needed 3 power wires from right kick panel to seat/steering heat module, 2 wires to connect in can bus which go all the way to above left kick panel can bus star connector, 2 wires power and return for steering (ones I mentioned ended under center seat), plus for seat heaters ran 5 wires to driver seat. But also had to change seat harnesses referenced by Jimmy07. Center stack just uses can bus system, no wires needed. I bought one with manual a/c to match but with seat/steering heat switches. I traced all the wires to see where ended, and added missing circuits. But I hear it varies by truck options.
