Can't find passanger seat module or gentlemen switch in bimmercode
Hi Everyone,
I swaped out the hardware switch to add the Gentlemen control switch to control the passenger seat from the driver side in my 2023 530e (g30). I saw a video on youtube showing to go into bimmercode and seat modual for driver and set Gentlemen switch to active. Then go into seat module passenger and do the same thing. I did the first one for the driver, but there is no listing for seat module passenger, or anything similar. So, does anyone have ideas or other videos? What am I missing? I uave bimmercode, bimmer utility, and protool, in case one of those will do the trick! I do have a copy of Esys on an old laptop, but have not used it in a long time. Any help is welcome! Or, is this just not meant to be in a 2023 model? I noticed when I installed the replacement switch, that there is a space for an additional wire. Maybe a wire needs to be run? See the picture. But, the thing is, that the set, 1, and 2 buttons work, and when I push the button for seat 2, the LED light comes on. It just does not control the other seat yet. |

Sorry... no. I ended up putting back the original part. I think my passanger seat does not have the ability to be controlled remotly. It is a power seat, but I seem to recall determining it can't be done. But then again, I could be wrong. I just ran out of options. The part did fit, but... well... never could figure out how to make it work.

Do you have the comfort seats? Check out the F10 forums, I believe I read something about this

I don't remember totally, but I believe I successfully installed the switch in my few-options 2012 with the base seats. I can't seem to find the thread F10 forum. I would have done it around 2016...
