Retrofitting heated seat - which control panel?

I've recently purchased a used set of heated black leather sport seats which I am putting into my E91 which did not have heated seats as standard. I understand that I need to purchase a wiring loom, control unit and a control panel. Regarding the control panel, does anyone know which unit I would require for my pre-LCI car with professional nav (pic below)?

Not sure if it should be integrated in the climate panel or if it goes in the panel underneath the CD/DVD slots...

Thanks

On your car, the heated seat buttons should be in the blank space below the dvd slots. This is the panel:

But it is cheaper from the dealers (£10 cheaper)!

Make sure you get heated seat buttons with a longer loom as it plugs into the heater control panel and sat nav cars have a bigger gap between the two. I have a spare set of heated seat buttons if you're interested.

idnan is correct: I bought the correct panel from BMW and it was about £19. I paid £40 for second hand switch buttons from Quarry Motors.

I had this guy supply the necessary looms and perform the actual retrofit. He did a great job.
