The problem is I really wanted climate control, heated seats and push to start. The heated seats I know I can DIY myself ez pz
However the climate control and push to start is a different story. So, does anyone know if these projects are relatively simple, or is it way too much work?
Thanks

you're much better off looking for another car.

Soundman is right, the passenger airbag detection is a circuit that involves detecting the resistance of whatever or whoever is in the seat, that's why if the seat gets moist it sets it off as it calculates the seat weight from the resistance. This also means EMF from certain tablets or phones can trigger it as well, my oneplus 5 used to trigger it with it's aluminum body and my 6t does with NFC on sometimes. Adding an aftermarket seat heater element will most definitely interfere with it.
Climate control is also quite complex you'd need the Climate Control Unit
Temp Sensors, Different piping assembly, Front Button/Dash Assembly
,Appropriate Wiring harnesses and the cost goes well past $2k just to get it to work in automated fashion.
If you had done your research, you would've realized you should honestly should just save up for a higher trim BR-Z
