$50 for a dealer to make a BCM program for new steering wheel?

I have a 2010 1LT I installed the 2LT leather steering wheel with the radio controls.

The dealer spent a good hour trying to program it and finally said they gave up and had to call technical assist.

After a few days I got a call saying that technical assist has to make a BCM program specifically for my vehicle/VIN, which would cost $50 + the labor charges to instal it.

Is this dealer BS?

Body control module. It's basically the cars electronics brain. It controls most all the electronic functions of your car.

No BS. About normal for what is being done.
