Retrofit heated manual seats to electric with memory sport seats
Hello, my F30 came with the basic fully manual seats by the factory. The only plus is that they are heated. I'm thinking of swapping them with the sport leather version, but it would be nice if I could use the fully electric version with memory, and of course being heated as well. My question would be if I have to replace any module or they just need to be plugged and coded? If replacing any modules could be complicated, I'm thinking of using the same spec (fully manual + heated) for the sports ones, as it's simpler to just plug and play them.

I don't have any knowledge of the required parts, but since you put it this way I guess I should just stick with the manual heated sport seats and I won't have to worry about retrofitting any module or electrical parts.

It's not too complicated if you're happy with adding a few additional wires to power the seat functions and to connect them to the K-CAN2/LIN bus. After that you'd just need to code them to the car by amending the VO using E-SYS and potentially injecting the CAFD.
I've gone from manual heated sport seats to fully electric with memory with success. I'm really pleased with the retrofit, it's a nice upgrade.

Sure I don’t think there will any issue doing that. In effect those pins you connect in to the yellow connector will just not be connected to anything. When you find the seats though they should then just be plug and play, bearing in mind you may need to do code them in.

I haven't found a good pair of seats that match my black interior so far (the seats I found a few months ago on my last message were actually brown), but I just found a very good used black set. The only question is, since the set is coming from an F36 model, is the back seat compatible with my F30?

Hi, thanks for the reply ReMiii40, I know the front seats are compatible, but I was actually interested in the rear seat instead, since it's coming from a 4 series Gran Coupe.
