Has anyone tried to upgrade to a heated steering wheel?

The Buick Encore steering wheel looks to be a fit. They share the same switches and wiring. The clock spring without the heated wheel is the same part #. So in theory the heated clock spring should fit. The heated wheel typically doesn't share the plug with the rest of the harness. I'm trying to find one in the junk yard to look at the plugs under the dash. But the switch for the heated wheel is in the heater control panel which is completely different.

I drove my Trax all of last year and unless you don't have a padded leather wrapped steering wheel I don't understand why you would need a heated steering wheel. Mine warms up very quickly to the touch of my hands and was never uncomfortable to the touch even at -25°C. My Buick has heated steering wheel but I only use it as a summer car, wasted option...
