Steering wheel tilt / telescope function not working. Need diagnostics help (INPA)

It's got to be the seat controller board.

A quick lookup on realoem shows no cross reference to the "actuation unit left" and e46. Exclusive to the e53. (that could be just due to a different shape/size, but just as likely electrical differences).

I would look for an e53 controller and see if it'll fit in the seat (might need some Dremel work).

The one I got (that has the same issue) I pulled from an x5 that was made a month before mine, same year. I'll go get another one and see if it fixes it. There's nothing else on the seat that might make a difference right? I see the main stack of cables going to the unit, and then they come out and go to the motors, etc under the seat. There isn't anything else that should sit in between on the e53 vs the e46?

Thanks
