I have been searching around trying to figure out how to put some seats I have out of an X-5 in a street rod. This is best solution I have found Awesome job on the car too. I would love to see it done.

I was hoping this would help someone too

I've got them going in a 1969 Firebird. This is probably the simplest solution that I have seen for this issue.

I put the same seats in my 68 el Camino. Went the more complicated route and hooked up a square wave generator to the CAN Bus High line. Keeps them awake and works great. I like your simple solution as well.

Hey man, would you please help me out? I bought a BMW electric seat. I already asked a car electrician. He couldn’t help me. But he provided the circuit diagram for the passenger seat. I have two thick wires (One red/brown the other brown), then three thin wires (green/orange, green and red) I saw a guy how solved the issue with a cheap pulse generator (Part NE555). Is this what you did? How would I need to connect the module? I know from the wiring diagram that the green/orange is CAN High. But how am I supposed to connect it? I WOULD OWE YOU SOMETHING!

Just about to pull the trigger to buy a set of these BMW seats. Now that I see them in your Camaro, and knowing they will fit in my 83 Toyota Pickup 4 by 4

you’re a damn genius.

Really good job on the seats and the console. I myself am doing a 1968 Chevelle convertible. I have a question though. I have some BMW seats out of a 650i that are similar but I believe a little more complicated than yours. What model are your seats out of? I'm having a nightmare with that canbus because it even has more accessories that I don't really need. Also what car did that console come out of . I myself have a 2013 SS Camaro one that I'm using myself. Thanks

This console is out of a ct6 cadillac. There is a guy on ebay has them new . The side trim is alittle hard to find. You just have to go junk yards and hunt. And I forgot to bmw series they out of. It was a newer convertible. Maybe 2016

Thanks!

Thanks for the explanation. Did you reinforce the seat on the floorpan? I am concerned that in an accident the seat would tear out of the stock seat platform?

I guess if the accident is bad enough it could . But I'm not concerned. I was raised in family where we didn't wear seat belts anyway.

How is your head room and did y ou make any adjustments? I am doing my initial fit today and my head is looking to be going up into the headliner.

@ACPro

Жыл бұрын

Actually I have really good headroom. But I did not use the factory bows for headliner. I put in a glue in headliner

I was thinking of bypassing the control module completely and using a bank of relays to control the motors. Is that ill advised? Seems like an unnecessary headache to make that switch so you can temporarily turn the module on the make any adjustments you might need

I do not know . Heat will be tricky. With some testing I am sure you can find the elements but I don't know if it is cycling or a built in temp sensor

@@ACPro thanks for getting back to me. Since my bus is in the shop I decided to make sure the basic stuff is working. Several months ago I connected the seats to a battery and got the in and out, the up and down, and the recliner to work on both seats. Today on the passenger seat I couldn’t get the in and out to work. And nothing on the driver’s seat! GRRRR! Does anyone have any suggestions on what I’m doing wrong? I’m a kinda old guy (74) and I frustrate easily!! LOL! Thanks in advance

@@ACPro Hi again, I hooked up the wires to each seat and got the seats to go up and down and lean forward and backwards, but not in and out. I can hear a clicking sound from the in/out motors and I can feel them trying to turn, but they don’t turn. I’ve applied WD-40 down the rails and let them soak a bit but still nothing. Have you heard of this kind of problem? There’s only one motor that I can see that moves the seats in and out. Thanks Toby!

installing the seats this way (switched power on/off) will the memory function work?

It will power down after you finish moving the seat . That is what the switch is for . Move the seat then turn off the switch. When you want to move the seat again just power on the switch and move it. Without the bus connected the module will go to sleep if not controls are used.

Are those memory seats? Will this switch work to kill the memory so the seats will work with just the adjustment buttons?

@ACPro

They only work with switches. It will not hold any type of memory

Ive tried this method hooking them up to a high amp button and the only thing that works is the air cushions. If i hook the positive and negative through a relay they work for the first touch and then they the can bus shuts them off. Pressing the button does not reset the system like yours does. Any suggestions please i need help😢. Also do you have an email or possible easier way to get ahold of you. It looks like you know your stuff and I'm having a hell of a time not only this but my aces efi kit not cranking. Everything turns on the module but no crank. 🙏
