Hi,

Just been reading through the threads and Im still a bit confused...

I have a 2004 E85 with heated manual seats.
I've just been offered some heated powered seats at a good price.

Today I unplugged the connector under the passenger-sde seat and took some photos.
There seem to be 25 identified pins in the plug.
(Strange because in WDS X1869 seems to show only 23 pins - am I looking at the wrong plug in the WDS?)
On my plug:
Empty pins: 1,2,3,6,8,11,12,15,16, 20,21,22.
Pins with metal: 5,7,9,10,13,14,17,18,19,23,24,25.

Is my plug wired for the power seats?

I know this thread is a bit old, but perhaps some of you out there might be able to help me.

You are looking at the wrong connector in WDS. X1869 is the brown connector that plugs in the console switch, just above the ash tray. That connector does have 23 pins. The yellow connector in your photos is either X275 or X279, depending on which seat you took it from.

If you have wires in positions 23, 24 and 25 you have the wiring for the heated seats. If you have wires in positions 13, 14 and 15 you should have wiring for power seats. On the passenger side, you would only have wires in positions 13 and 14. It looks like the plug in your photos is from passenger side? Passenger side would have position 15 empty.

Anyone know if recoding is required for switching from Heated manual seats to heated power seats?

Should I change the VO to add ?:
SA459 --> Seat adjustment, electrical with memory

Anything else needs coding?
Should I set these values in the KOMBI module (Speedo Cluster) and activate the following three options:
SITZ_AUT_VERST_AUS
SITZ_AUT_VERST_ENT
SITZ_AUT_VERST_ENT_T
?

Any help would be much appreciated!

You can add the M sport seat code to the VO, but it is not necessary. I believe all seat functions will work without any coding. The only one I am not sure of is the seat memory function. That may require coding.

I added heated seats to a Z4 that previously had none, and had no wiring for it. After installing the wiring and the seats, they worked without coding.
