Anyone knows how to make the logo on the seats always on. Usually it become on only when I open the door. I couldn't find that option in bimmercode.

Following. I was just trying to figure this out today, saw a thread out there is someone changing the wiring and that worked, curious for an alternative.

That doesn't seem like it'll be tough, I have to take my seats out to change my subs soon I will try this.

I am assuming by the big yellow/red wire he means that one on the right..

That's correct…

How did you tap the green wire into it? Looks simple enough that you could prob just use some T Taps, my wiring experience is not very extensive to say the least

Wago connectors are extremely secure and safe!

Don't see how a wagon connect would work, you would have to disconnect them both from the yellow assembly, no? Seems less than ideal. Figure I would just pull out the green wire from the connector, and T-Tap/splice it to the red/yellow wire

I wish coding would do it …..

Well it’s what I would use…simple and safe…but each to their own!

That was more of a question from me, I'm not familiar with waco connectors can you explain how it would work. Looks like for those I would need to pull both wires out of the yellow module and connect them into the waco.... But then after they are both in the waco, how would I reconnect it back to the yellow module?

Wago connector with three entry points, cut the cable that is being ‘piggybacked’, both (new) ends of that into Wago (ie leaving the original connection to the multiplug in place) and yellow into Wago. I suspect some cutting/trimming may need to be done to the yellow cable OR the yellow can be cut and the (new) non-multi plug end into the Wago. Although in the latter case i would think the yellow cable left sticking out of the multiplug is not live make sure it is safely capped off….another Wago will do the job perfectly.

The reason I would use Wago is they are incredibly secure - not saying other connectors aren’t (the twist things in US house wiring certainly aren’t!) and even a 12v system in a car is more than capable of creating pyrotechnics.


Above all at your own risk.
