there should be hard buttons on the HVAC in the center console if the car is equipped with heated/ventilated seats. Are those buttons non-functional?

They are not hard buttons, where they should show the touchscreen buttons is only a blank space

Unfortunately you won’t have the hardware to do it so not just a coding issue (for example the seats would need to be perforated to allow the ‘cooling’, you don’t have these two ‘options’ it seems or they would show up in the centre console display. Wasn’t aware the G11/12’s could come without heated seats!

If the touch sensitive area where the heating or cooling buttons is missing, (for both driver and passenger side), then somehow you have a car without the option(s). Have you checked the VIN to see what was produced? If it isnt listed as an option, then I believe you are out of luck as the seats themselves would need replacement, along with the electronics.

If the car is from Italy than no heated or ventilated seats. It is not just coding. Most of the cars for Italian market do not have heated seats.

Run the last 7 digits of the car's VIN through one of the VIN decoding sites below to see how the car was optioned from the factory:
  1. https://bimmercat.com/bmw/EN/vin/decoder/online (this site has pull down selection tab for multiple languages)
  2. https://www.mdecoder.com/
  3. https://decoder.bvzine.com/

Unless BMW changed things...the option codes for climatised (ventilated) seats & heated front seats are:
  • S453 - Climatised front seats
  • S494 - Seat heating driver/passenger
