I am sorry to revive this old thread, but I am trying to figure out why my driver's seat doesn't move when I unlock the car with my remote. Two dealers (one in Greece, one in Bulgaria) say they can't do it, because my radio is not the OEM BMW one. Some people in a forum say that this is BS, so I am at a loss.

When I check the car with NCS Expert etc, it doesn't have a SM (Seat Module) at all. However, I do have the memory controls on the driver's seat and the seat holds its assigned memory fine. I have programmed two positions, one for me, one for my wife and they work fine, except I can't get the seat to move when unlocking the car with the remote.

So I guess my real question is, could this part discussed here have a problem in my car? Is this part the "Seat Module" shown in the list of modules available in the car, when you use NCSExpert to read all the various computers the car has?
