Swapping in Seats from an M3; Need help with Wiring Harness

Post by Zeos »

So I picked up a pair of Black Electric Vader Seats from a 99 BMW M3 (heated). ($900 in mint condition but had to drive 5 hours out and back to get them)

The motors are all just basic Power connection so that is easy.

The heaters are all going to have to be run custom so I'm not worried about that either.

The issue is getting the Occupancy Sensor (for the airbag) DOES THE CAPRICE SEAT HAVE ONE?

And the seat belt retention "airbag" hookups (there are two yellow plugs)

So if anyone has a wiring diagram for the 2012 Caprice seat harnesses It would help me out greatly. Thanks!
