This modification is for '03 - '04 E60 models and for cars with semi-electric HEATED SEATS ONLY and one pretensioner on each seat (driver - passenger). If your car has not got seat heating from the factory, then this conversion will not be successful and the seats will not work at all.
I cannot guarantee anything so, anyone can do it at his OWN RISK.
AFTER THIS CONVERSION you have to unplug only the black clip-connector from new seat modules and plug it to your OLD SEAT MODULES in any case your car need a CIP UPDATE, so mark your old modules as LEFT and RIGHT and store them.
Black connector
Here is mwaly's post about his conversion from no heated seats with memory and two pretentiones (on each seat)

Requested by vl20sas
First of all disconnect the negative pole off the battery
Let's begin with the driver's seat yellow connector, because vl20sas has a lot of work to do tonight.
The black connector remains as it is (without any modification)
The passenger connector needs the same mod
Unplug this connector here. It's in the trunk's fuse box (rear right)
Open the connector and plug a red wire 4.00 m length in the third place from right to left
That red wire is connected to Pin 2 in the first picture (driver and passenger)
Pin 4 (brown) goes to negative (-) enywhere on the car ie: a screw on car's body
Now make a pair of wires (one white and one yellow) so it will go from one seat to the other around through the glove compartment and the dashboard (about 5.00 meters)
Connect the white wire to pin 1 and the yellow wire to pin 3 from one seat to the other through the glove compartment/dashboard
Now open the glove compartment upper part see pictures below:
Turn - unclip and pull down this big cable connector to connect the yellow wire here and run it to the other seat.
Now you must connect the white wire to the seat heating switch connector on the dasboard.
Open the connector and plug a wire to the third place from left to right and connect it to the white wire.
Connect now all three wires (red2 - yellow3 - white1) to the driver's connector as above in the first picture.
