Heated seat issues

[Nate4456]

Hi all!

I have recently retrofitted some x1 sports seats in black leather to replace my cloth seats that were quite worn.

All is well except the drivers side heated seat that now does not work. I did try the wiring harness of my old seat that did work with the heating but no luck!

In the uk I have found little information in regards to repairing the heat pad or any company that actually do repair the heated seats.

I may be in need of a replacement however x1 sports seats for the e84 are hard to come by in the UK. I have read some things about using a e90 seat but I wanted to find out if anyone has actually repaired a heat pad or put in a 3 series seat in a x1 with any success.

Anyway any comments are appreciated! And if anyone has a black leather sports drivers seat available, I would certainly be interested!

3 series seats should work, there are some caveats. pre-lci and lci seats are different. I have f80 seats in mine, works with minimal wiring. I've moved e90, e84, e82 and f80 seats around, they are all similar, trick is to keep the control module from your car, or similar, and code it proper.

If you added options you may have a module or coding issue, btw. Heating didn't work on my swap until i coded it, for instance.
