They don’t have this separate small box. Just ran an inpa sweep and came up with (thanks google translate):
112 seat occupancy determination
Error currently present
Line against plus
Error not sporadic

So yep, seems like the sensor pad is shorting.

Inpa also shows the “see built in” as “yes”. Which tells me the module is smart enough to see that the small box isn’t present on the model seal I swapped in, and it’s just reading a short in the mat.
I understood they are just reupholstered. Just for future reference to someone doing the same I mentioned that the seat mat would be wise to renew at that point.

Every E53 has that small module for seat mat at rear bottom of the seat base. Even my 9/2006 manufactured does. So I don't know why it was missing on your seat.
