    e61 seats retrofit

    Hi Guys, I need help please.
    I have purchased comfort/heated seats from e60 2005/04 and want to swap my half electric/heated seats on e61 2004. I had them inside, connectors does fit but pin outs are slightly different in yellow connector. I cannot find wire codes anywhere as which wire does what. After turning ignition on, seat side support does automatically close in and when ignition off, it opens. So clearly seats does have power, but I cannot adjust neither of them with switches. There are black and red wires in seat yellow connector which are not fitted in the connector from the car. Also old seats does have power feed in the yellow connector and black power connector, new seats does not. on this site I found I would need to purchase this cable to retrofit my seats: http://www.caraudioexpress.co.uk/bmw...ment-loom.html
    I think for simple wire with connectors, 140 quid per seat, this is little too much
    but this is black and red wires I am missing in the yellow plug. Does anybody know what do I need to do to make them work, and what are the wires in the yellow connector.
    Somebody suggested I would need to program my car too when retrofitting seats. If so, is there a good guide how to? I got my laptop with progman sss and dis working.

    Hi! Did you get it to work?
    This seems helpful: http://www.bimmerforums.co.uk/forum/...rofit-t114786/

    I just changed the fabric electric (non-heated) seats and upholstery (doorpanels etc.) in my '05 E61 to leather upholstery and (heated) comfort seats.
    My seats now do not move via the switches on the side......
    Yellow plug under the seats is different. (logical I guess since they're heated seats now and additional headrest tensioner)
    Still looking for a solution too.

    Anyone?

    Thanks!
