RealOEM help - determining correct part to buy

[Bdc101]

First, I did my searching -- this youtube and the following threads describe my problem exactly. The electric steering adjustment and the power seat (but not lumber) will move only in millimeter-increments. I have to hit it like 100 times to get it to move correctly.

Using my VIN I confirmed that I have the following relevant options:

S459A Seat adjuster, electric, with memory
S461A Electric seat backrest adjustment, rear
S473A Armrest front
S488A Lumbar support, driver and passenger
S249A Multifunction f steering wheel

I looked in RealOEM and I am pretty sure that part number 61317119867 is what goes with the S459A seat option. It appears that if you have comfort seats (S456A) you would need a different part number.

I would just like to see if anyone else can confirm this, since I still get confused by RealOEM sometimes! Thanks in advance!

Are entering your VIN (last 7 digits) into RealOEM? If you do, then it should only display parts that fit your car.

But still I'd double-check any part listing anyway! :-)

Yep, I entered my last 7 into RealOEM. I just haven't used it enough to know if it's smart enough to only show me only parts for my car. Thank you!

Yes…if you need to replace the module for your left electric (driver’s seat)…then you need the module that ends in 867.

The comfort seats w/memory (S456a) uses the module with the part number that ends in 869
