Finally the operation failed due to severe problems, since my car is right hand drive and the wiring is a bit different from left hand drive cars.

Now i have to go through the WDS to find a way to wire my seats.

If anyone can help or have an idea please let me know.

Thanks

Sorry about your troubles. If you don't mind how much did you pay for the seats and where did you buy them?

Thanks Rick...

Who said M5 seats cannot be retrofited on non M5 car without heating and without wiring preparation.
My Bmw dealer did! but after all these months i have successfully retrofited my M5 seats. All functions work properly including heating for both seats. WDS has the answer for everything Progman identified my seat modules As i said everything works perfectly.

If anyone need help please let me know

Hi I am new to this so sorry if I have missed something, I have just got some leather electric heated seats and am trying to fit to my car which just had semi electric as standard, and cannot get them to work. I have the modules under the seats and one plug is missing it has two spade termanils and four pins. the wiring in the car is different e.g. no heated seat wires which I presume is just a rheostat switch any help would be very useful.

Thanks John
