Heated Steering Wheel - quick question

Hi all. Hope you all had a good Christmas.

Quick question but my 12yr old Nephew jumped into my car to take a look and straight away said “oh you’ve hit a heated steering wheel”

No I don’t, I said but looking at the steering wheel closer I could see the heated steering wheel symbol on the haptic pad.

Obviously it doesn’t light up when ignition starts, but as an interesting point I wondered if this was something which could be activated via OBD11 or similar.

This is purely a question of interest or useful to someone else, if someone in the know has already managed to activate.

Have a Good New Year.

I'm not sure the polo bcm, slip ring and climate control support it. The touch buttons always have the silhouet. But not activated.

I have the heated steering wheel on mine but not done through the steering wheel it has a separate button for it.
