From what I've heard you'd need to change out wiring harnesses for the dual zone HVAC and push start to work. Which is extremely difficult because tons of other things are wired to it and it is buried deep so things would have to be uninstalled to access it the plugs. The service hours on that alone could approach $1k. If the procedure isn't outlined in the service tech manual there's a chance the dealer won't do that service at all. Due to the highly complicated nature of this swap, there's also potential of things getting installed incorrectly. Again, I haven't attacked this problem myself; it's just what I remember hearing from owners who have researched this already.

I would wait it out for what you really want: the Limited.
