ok, makes sense. After running in the garage and checking I believe they're just the comfort seats. Not the active ones. May end up being easier/better for me anyway! Thanks for that.

I just done this retrofit to my old comfort seats... Drivers bolsters doesnt work, motors make little sound when pressing button, but no movement. I can see control signal coming when pressing button via oscilloscope. Passengers upperpart adjust doesnt work, motor is totally silent. Anyone got ideas for the drivers seat? Modules are coded and can be diagnosed.

If so, move the control module from the passenger side to the driver side to test it out

Hey NoQuarter.
Can you help? Look, I need codes for all parts which includes this retrofit. Motors, Buttons (DTC, ACTIVE back rest and Heating) on the center console and all others. Can you share this information? I would appreciate that.
Also have maybe more pictures? Because your first page does not show pictures any more, because they are very old. THANK YOU!

I will fix the images But it has been too long since I worked on this so any notes I have on parts I may not be able to find.
If you use realoem.com you will find all the part numbers you need.
Edit: Pics should be working now
