Red/ white with yellow dots wire, in the back of the radio there is a wire same colors run a jumper wire from radio to switch see if the switches work if they do its a "bus" or what ever it's called for bmw problem if not check your power "red blue" .. Do both switches not work ? And when you push the switch the green doesn't come on fast and turn off ?

Has anyone retrofitted front seat warmers? How hard is that to do and how much $$$?

I have a feeling that the heating mat itself is shorted. My drivers seat works until I sit on it, then it turns off and wont come back on again. The other side works fine. Haven't got round to sorting it yet though

I did in my x3 but I retroed seats that had the elements http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...-possible.html

Hi when i press the button i get nothing no green lights on/off quickly at all

Does the other side work ? Like I said, it's probably the heating mat itself. From the research I have done it seems that they short out and stop working. You will probably have to replace it.

Both do the same, not working and no lights on the switches at all
