The list I found gave me the correct codes (for example 411 as 18" Carrera Wheels or 571 Charcoal filter and so on) so I assume the list I found is correct.

anyway: I lifted the ashtray out and lifted the console which contains the switches.
I found two unused rather large connectors, one white and one black, each had six or seven cables attached to it.

Are these for the seat heating? That would be easy I then only need to buy the switches or don't I?

You most likely have the wirring in the car for the seat.. the question is: do you have heatable seat connected at the other end of that wire? :P

I'd try and get a couple switches and connect the wires up to them. Sounds like you have the infrastructure in place, but no switches.

Also, these switches tend to be harder to find than the dash switches.

The following vendor has a pretty good handle on them. Maybe start with a call to them.

Can I suggest you to take a look at the seat wiring to see if they seems to have the heating wiring plugged?
Or take a look at the part number of the seats and check with the dealer (or online) hey it's the 'heated seat' part number or the 'non heated seat' part number..
