Hi Dave, thank you for your post. I decided I'd better just crack on and reconnect the battery and see what happened - all good so far thankfully so fingers crossed it stays that way. I'll look into the tech site and the diagnostic program for sure as the scanner I have is no doubt quite limited.

Hi, hoping that someone can advise before I create any problems... I am putting a set of LCI 2009 sport seats (heated, elec lumbar, and headrests that pull out so not AHR?) into my son's pre LCI 2006 116i (those seats were basic with just the side airbags, seat belt pre-tensioners, and headrests that do not pull out although apart from the fact that they will not release and pull out there is nothing to indicate that they might be AHR). I disconnected the battery before doing anything, then removed the original seats and now and have got the newer seats in place, but I am a bit concerned about possible error messages and air bag lights coming on when I reconnect the battery. I would have thought that the car would recognise the airbags and pre-tensioners and be ok. The heated and lumbar elements will not work as the car won't be feeding them through the seat connector plugs. Am I missing anything about the headrests or am I ok to reconnect? Also, if this swap is ok, how much would I be looking at to get a good indie to wire in and code for the heated and lumbar elements, as that stuff is well beyond me? Any help very much appreciated thanks, Andy 😀
