Great vid. It helped me on a project I am doing. I removed my m4 seats for bucket seats, and I don't want the seats to just lay around. So, I am making an m4 "gaming" chair with all the electronics being usable. You wouldn't have a seat occupancy sensor for the driver because when you turn the car on, it will know a driver is in the vehicle automatically. You can't drive a car without being in it.
It’s nice to see you back on RU-vid, there is one thing that made me laugh and that was when you said real Alcantara, I don’t understand why people are so hung up on this stuff, it’s imitation plastic suede, why not fit the real McCoy and have Suede, it’s real and not plastic, you’ve got real leather in your car, why fit a plastic headlining, you don’t fit false carbon fibre, it’s the real thing or nothing, please stop fitting Alcantara and making out it’s an expensive material, it’s just expensive plastic after all
Goodjob andrew! welldone man! i was thinking about doing f series seats or just grabbing some e90 seats with heating as thats the only option my cars missing haha. keep up the good work brother!
Ohhhh man, this version of it is going to be very different to the old days! Ahhhh man i can't wait, i wish i had more time to work on it. I get my licence back in 10 weeks. So it better be done by then :P
I'm so glad when I see you've put out a new vid! Things will probably never be the same as it once was getting almost a video a day out for a long stint there. However seeing as I have shot huge swathes of "Footage" (Is it still called that in digital video land?? LOL) yet haven't posted much of anything since around 2017 or something like that. So I will remember not to be the tool we humans can often be at times. I know how long doing what you do actually takes to do. So I try not to judge at all when it Seems like a video is taking a long time. Not to mention how insane it is think you "Deserve" something that's free!! Anyways I'm very much in the camp of "Luxury comfort technology in the old school boat with MASSIVE POWA!!!" AHH HAH HA HAA! That said I love the M2 seats or the M4 seats they will keep you in place look amazing and look like they'd be very comfy. Just how inspirational your videos have been over the years I can't really measure. But the confidence in being able and capable of working on BMW's and N54 in particular is immense! Thank you! "Knowledge is POWER! SO is Forced Induction!" LOL. The last thing is that Australia one of those places where heated seats just don't make sense. Yet in Canada it's number two on the options "MUST HAVE" list. LOL!! Rock on Andrew!
Great video. Been thinking about front seat updates on my 07 E90. Initially I was thinking about the Recaro Sportster or Speed V but I think this is a better option! Assuming a sedan F series seat is similar.
the PWM Signal for the seat heating module is comeing from the junction box I had them on the driver side and passinger side since i had manual basic seats with heating when i retrofitted my E90 ///M3 fully electric seats with lumbbar and heating I needed to add in the can Bus wireing for the driver seat to get the big module to work for the seat positioning I did nod do it from the get go since I was no concerened for the position stuff at first but it turned out that seatheatin would not work too when the can bus signal is mission on the big module including the blinking error indication on the heating button in the center console as soon as i added the can bus wireing like magic all started to work again - no coding needed at tat point I did code the sport seat option with memory later to enable the key memory - but not really needed for me since I'm the ony user of the car ALSO stoked to hear of the NBT-Evo retrofit - If it works out well for you - I will definatly copy it
You just need the light grey lci boxes for heat and everything to work on pre lci. Oem ones will be black. I grabbed the two light grey boxes from the junkyard, everything works including the rear angle adjustment. With module everything will work-lights,phone,track skip and cruise
Great video. Have you tried reaching out to Reboot Engineering to see if their rear seat retrofit kit will work on the e92? I did the spool street post on f80 seats in an e90 and the reboot kit. Its some very nice hardware and amazing engineering skill.
Those seats look good. Kind curious is the process is similar to swap them into an E60. Not that I need another project to add to my already incredibly long list of things to get done before June. Cant wait to see more man. Super excited to see how it all turns out.
Thankyou for making this fantastic video. I'll be following it to install F82 Comp seats into my E92 M3. At 27:15 you say to tap into any of the floor lights. Do you have any guides on this step or can you please refer me to another guide that demonstrates how to do it?
The lights that light up the rear footwell. These are in the rear centre console on an e92. I tapped in to the power wire for those and thats what makes the seat lights light up.
Hi, amazing video finally someone who shows all the ins and outs of the installation! Do you reckon the installation would be any different for the E82?? (Just for the front seats I don't plan to do anything with the rears)
@@ZeroTo60Tube It does have heated seats with the blow up bolster feature too so we'll see. They're not electric either so I'm not sure how much extra work it will be to make it all work but I think in the end it should be possible to make it all work hopefully. I just need to re-watch the part of the video explaining pre and post lci modules because that's got me the most confused. I'm fairly certain my car (2009) is the pre lci
Does the occupancy sensor stop the airbags from going off in case of an accident? Interested in these seats but want to make sure the airbags work properly if I code out the occupancy sensor
High key sounds like a headache. I’m looking at M sport package 335’s in the next year or two and will probably end up just sticking with M sport seats and call it good
They do look pretty cool other than the M2 badge. Are they heavier than the E92 seats? Without seat occupancy working, does that mean bolster airbags won't work in a crash?
Apparently the F series seats are lower. Is this something you noticed? And if so, do you think it's just the rails that are lower or is the seat construction itself that is lower?
Hey Andrew I have a massive question/ favour I’m chasing down a B58 coil bolt and was wondering if you or someone may have one floating around somewhere. Thank mate
Hi Heath, I don’t have any spare from a coil, I’m sorry. Surely you could grab something suitable from a bolt shop? Change all of them so they look the same. Decent socket head cap screw would look nice.
I have been thinking of doing the M2/4 seats in my 2007 E92, what combination of seats/modules would make it the easiest on my end? Gonna keep an eye out for some good looking seats...
Initially e92 lci modules from an lci with all the same features your current car has. However you can get away with using the f series module on the passenger side like i did. or nearly any e9x lci electric sport seat module on the drivers side.
Hopefully that explains it a bit for you. I am confident you could use the pre lci seat modules. But you would need to completely re pin everything on the seat.
I did this with E92 LCI modules on both fronts and the rear access buttons still don't work. I also couldn't get passenger occupancy sensor to work so I coded it out. I was told the polarity was different on the airbag connectors, and so swapped them around. Did you connect the airbags in the end?
Hi Andy your car is coming along nicely, How did you get the memory settings to work was it just plug and play after changing your module or? I had the same up down problem also on my passenger chair.
@@ZeroTo60Tube You were lucky, thanks for quick reply got it working after coding. I was changing boring M2 manual basic chairs to f22 Alcantara full electric in my f87 M2. Your video solved few issues thanks again
@@soorajsatheesh2756 biggest fix of issue with memory is correctly tapping into Kline high and low after that its just deleting errors and setting stop positions
So basically you need to bypass or delete the m5 resistors and set up like this ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gdWoYyOixSA.htmlsi=CsEcUPyCN_EXEHQE
dpeends on which version of 6hp, you will need to do some digging, but the earlys ones are just switches to ground, so you dont need any resistors.@@strizap
Bypass the m5 resistors and change them to what the e9x dct wants. This shows it. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gdWoYyOixSA.htmlsi=CsEcUPyCN_EXEHQE
Hello Hello I need some help with my seats bro I have installed m4 seats into my LCI e92 most things works including the badge lighting but Heated seats Side bolsters Memory seats Height adjustment is wrong way around I have the put my e92 LCI module in aswell. Not sure what the issue is My original e92 did not have heated but had side bolsters adjustment and was fully electric and had memory seats. But the module I have has heated option. That’s why it’s weird that none of that stuff doesn’t work on the m4 seats Do you know what the issue could be? Would be really helpful Thanks
Man I can’t remember the full info on seat swaps. I can’t even remember what’s in this video…. I’m getting old. From memory it’s likely an issue with those modules not having the features.
