Seat heater retrofit

I would love heated seats in my 06 r53. I've read that i need to look under my seat for a vacant plug, possibility of pre installed heaters. My passenger seat has 4 plugs but they are hooked up. I'm assuming this has to do with the airbags? Where would these "vacant" plugs be if my seats are prewired. Thanks

There will be a vacant black plug with large gauge wires and a chunky socket with larger round pins. It will be located on the same row of connectors with the other sockets for the airbag, pretensioner, seatbelt sensor and passenger weight sensor.
