FYI, two of your misses actually are available outside the NA market. There is a front camera option in Japan which is what that blank spot by the shifter is for. And then Canada does have the heated steering wheel. I haven't looked on the camera in the manual, but the heated steering wheel is mentioned in the manual with the caveat of "if equipped". I haven't done a full look through the information yet on mine concerning the fuse for the heated steering, but it is probably possible to drop in upgrade to a heated steering wheel as the toggle along with the element are part of the steering wheel assembly. This assumes the wiring harness is the same and just not connected in the NA. If not, there will of course be more work to add it as you would need to get the updated harness and most likely playing around with a changed fuse box. The camera I assume would be another matter entirely due to it using the infotainment screen and thus may need some kind of software update/hack to work with it.
Makes sense. Kia stinger was similar in 2018. NA didn't have 360 camera or rear heated seats yet Canada and other countries did. Then in 2019 they implemented into NA models. Kinda odd haha appreciate the info
