First try to clear the codes. Disconnect the battery and clean the battery cables and battery posts. Reconnect the battery. Make sure it's nice and tight. See if the error comes back. I would start with this cheaper method.

Thanks balbs, just awaiting my cable to arrive and software. I already know that this is the code it shows, since it was provided by previous owner. I´ll buy some dielectric grease and put it on all main cable connections from the battery.
Thank you.
Thank you.

Hi Guys, I'm here too
Afternoon all, glad to see I'm not the only one having this problem. Here's what I've got and what I've done so far.
My car was showing the "drivers active headrest reserve voltage" fault, originally I thought it was the passenger seat mat so I fitted an emulator/dummy load and this made no difference. I took it to a chap last night which used INPA to turn off the headrest, we reset the fault but it came back immediately. I think my next plan is to check all the battery terminals, then maybe look at the wire that often needs replacing don't know the name (goes to battery live) apparently cutting the cable and fitting a 2ohm resistor is the way to go. If it does end up being the module, where is it located?

+1 on the battery and coding... Also take a look at this BMW Technical Information Service document. May have to dig a little, but it should point you in the direction for a repair procedure.
