E60 M5 seats retrofit - youngbob - 08-07-2019
Hope someone can help
My car is a E61 525d SE 2008 LCI. It originally can with full leather, half electric heated seats. I've recently aquired a pair of front M5 full electric sports seats circa 2005. These are again full leather but with memory, lumber moving side bolsters etc
I have fitted the seats and wired the power connection to the point where I can my both seats in INPA. I've a couple of outstanding issues though.
1. I'm not sure what to add to the VO for these seats, tried both $456 and $459?
2. Also getting restain errors which are possibly because the M5 seats do not have the active headrest and I've read that the two extra wires on the seat base run to pins 21 & 22 on the B pillar but as my car is an LCI these are no longer there so not sure where to the the cables to?
3. Lastly I've got power to the switches but since the seats are pre-lci and those seats used k-bus and not lin-bus do I need to replace the switches? If not where do I run the switch black cable to?
Thanks
Steve
