My Ride: 535XI wagon and 530i e60/e61
Default Possible to Retrofit Sport Seats with Seat Warmers? E60

Hello,

I had an e60 530i with the sport package seats. They were the 20 way positioning seats, but did not have the heated seat functionality. I just bought a e61 535xi wagon that had the 10 way seats with heated seats. I decided to swap the seats since the sport packaged one is way more comfortable. The seats with the heating function had an extra yellow connection while the sport seats did not.

When I swapped the sweats, I forgot to disconnect the negative terminal on the batteries. I have a code error for 93FA and 93F3 for the 535xi wagon e61 (active head restraint malfunction).

1. Could I swap/add the heating coil/element from the heated seats to the 20 way sport seats? If so, how would I proceed?

2. Could I clear the SRS 93FA and 93F3 code with INPA? The previous 10 way seats did not have the motor in the headrest whereas the 20 way did. Could this possibly be the issue or did I blow some kind of fuse/connection by not disconnecting the battery?

thanks

Heating elements are sewn into covers. If covers are same design you can swap them over and if needed re-colour. You need to code seat heating to new car and run cable from heated seat switch module that needs putting into the dash. Active head restraints need coding to active.
