Retrofitting Electric/Power seats?

Looking for any insight into retrofitting electric/heated seats into my manual/heated seat F22.

Control modules aren't an issue (included/attached to seat) but more curious regarding the remaining level of effort...wiring/coding/parts?

Seeing threads for other chassis and wondering if it's still so involved in an F22.

Recently done this to mine, had to run 3 new wires to each seat, new climate panel then coding!

PM me? I shouldn't need the climate panel as I'm already wired/coded for heated seats. Would only be adding power/memory.

Did you find out? Probably going the same way in my M2 that should be the same as the regular 2 series. Mind sharing a guide?

Kinda, but I never got part numbers. Essentially they tapped into the pins in center console.

I wasn't too keen on messing with the bus wiring while under warranty, so I did not pursue.

Hi, I'm looking for some advice on retrofitting heated seats to a 2016 f22 218i. The car currently has non heated fabric seats. I understand I need to get the heated seats with control modules as well as the AC unit with heated seat buttons. I also understand these need to be coded in. What I'm unsure on is if there is any wiring required between the seats and the car or if this is simply a case of plug and play?

Hi, can you please tell me what 3 wires are required to be fitted to get the electric seats wired up ? Just got a set of the seats for my M2 but no specific info on line on how to wire them up.

Appreciate any advice that you can offer
