Heated steering wheel retrofit - help!

Gents/Ladies -- So I tried replacing my stock sport steering wheel with the heated version today. No luck. I had a shop replace the clock spring with the heated plug and install the wheel. When you press the heater button the light barely goes on (like it's not getting enough power) and the steering wheel doesn't heat up. Bummer.

Looking through the detailed instructions for the e53 retrofit, it looks like I might also need to insert a new contact relay or fuse but I have no idea where or how to do that. I've searched the forums for e70 instructions and wasn't able to find anything.

Has anyone done this on an e70? I could really use some help if you have.

If not, the next step will be to take it into the dealership to see if it's a programming issue. I'd like to avoid the several hundred $ charge I'm sure that will amount to if possible.
