Default Seat heating problem

Hello,
I have e60 LCI (02/2007).
And have a problem with seat heating after i changed from
classic, heated, half-electric seats
to
sports, heated, half-electric seats bought from LCI aswell(2008).

After the change(seats and modules from
under the seats) Electric moving works but heating just doesnt work. LED glows for 3 seconds and then sets off.

Did i forgot to do something? Or where can the problem be?

Before the change there was no problem with seat heating.

Best Regards!

No i did not, should i delete normal seats and add sport seats? Does it make any difference if they have the same steering (half electric, heated).
I unfortunately do not have the VO list right now. I will try to get it today.

Something is making it trigger different. If you verified the wiring was the same on the plugs I would think the VO would have to be changed for it to work completely.

Did you also put the new modules in or you kept the old ones. If the new modules are in it would probably need just a VIN coding to work correctly.

I have never retrofitted seats but everything else I've retrofitted needed to be coded in for it to work 100%

Hmm today i will try to switch seats in VO.I have all of the modules old and new ones i tried every configuration DIDN’T WORK!

Maybe if i switch the VO to sport the new modules will work perfect!

You can also use NCS Expert to modify VO.

Today i coded sport seats into the vo, but this didn’t change anything. I couldn’t code vin into the modules because there was no SMFB OR SM module in ECU or LMA, why they doesn’t show? Neither the old ones (modules) and the new ones.
Any tips from now?
