Is it possible to clear error code only?

Not sure if the seat airbags still work.

Steering wheel airbag has 2 different models for USA and the rest of the world.

No I tried. Cannot clear the error code directly.

Tomorrow I am going to switch the F32 seat airbag into the M seat. I will keep you posted to see if it works or not... finger cross

In my opinion for the airbag it is necessary to use rheingold to record the new airbag

This will be the project tomorrow. Thanks guys

Hope everything will work.

I don't think I will bother with the M logo light up or not... too much work of running another wire into the FEM

For the illumination of the M3 logo, the easiest way is to connect as the next picture.

You can plug the power supply as I did on my F30

david51 do you know the part number for the wire from pin 7 to pin 2 in the armrest? Should look something like this right? Might as well finish off with the light up logo.

Appreciated all you guys for this. The community is so strong here with people like you guys. Especially David, I used to pm him long time ago and he tried his best to give me the best solution.

After I get new seats installed then I will try rheingold to record new airbags as David suggested.

Will report back if it works or not.

Ps. It might take some time for me to install because of my duty call.

Cheers

Top is M3 ZCP Plug

Bottom F30

Heated seats on both.

Notice extra blue/purple wire on M3 Plug.

Assuming that is light.

Did you swap F32 and F82 seat airbags to make it work?

Based on Realoem.com, appears while other airbags are different, seats are the same. F3x and F8x airbags are also the same part number.

Yes the airbags have the same part number, but after I swapped the F32 one into the M4 seats, it worked believe it or not.

I will work on the light soon. david51 already told me it is pin #7 so your pictures are correct. I am just getting ready to get the pin / wires so I don't need to spike anything.
