F30 Climate panel swap for heated seats retrofit - help
Hi,
I've upgraded my cloth seats to heated leather ones. My next step was to get the headed part of the seats working. As far as i know I need to: 1. fit a new climate control panel with the heated seats buttons 2. Wire ups the seats 3. Code the new climate control panel. I've purchased a new climate panel from ebay, when i've plugged this in and I expected the panel to work as before but without the heated seats lights working. Coding would just be a case of enabling the heated seat buttons What it actually does, the rear demister LED flashes and the other buttons and knobs don't respond. The display only has a couple of things illuminated. Is this because i've bought an incompatible panel for my car? Or does it need more 'Coding' to work? I can't find any posts on the forum that describe the symptoms i'm seeing. My old panel doesn't have any part number stickers on it so I can be sure what i've got. Any advice would be much appreciated. Thank, Simon |

My car is a 2012 so pre-LCI - The part number on the panel i've bought is BMW 641193541 46-02. There is what looks to be a date on it 01.05.15.
I had thought the LCI panels have a different lcd display which changes colour, when I plug this panel into my car the parts of the lcd that do light up look identical to my current one. I was hoping to catch someone on here who has done the swap and can say if there is coding required or not. |

It looks like you need a panel from the same approximate date as your car |
