In short it's not going to work. Your friend doesn't understand modern cars. Frankly if he thinks he can "give it a go" I wouldn't let him within 20 feet of my car.
Adding heated seats you will need to install your own switches, relays, wiring. It can be done by someone who does know what they're doing, just not with the factory parts from the "2" trim level.

^ Yeah, this. Just don't do it. Your options, although you may not like it, are to either trade up to a 2SS or just live without heated seats. You're going to cause an electrical fire at worst or fry most of the electronics in your dash at best. Suddenly the price difference for the 2SS will have looked like the cheaper option in retrospect.
Would you sleep at night directly next to a home-made space heater with sketchy wiring? You're basically doing the same thing here, if not worse since your body is in direct contact with the thing...
