Hey guys,
my name is Andy and i'm from Germany. I've owned my 2011 BK1 for 8 years and the leather driver seat had some major wear in the common areas. Parts are pretty rare in Germany but i was lucky enough to find some BK2 seats in much better condition. Did some research about the compatibility and pulled the trigger.
I threw the old interior out on the weekend and started to put the new stuff in when i noticed, the power plug on the seats is completely different to the BK1 models. Since I had the powered, heated seat before I must admit, I did not expect that.
Airbag connector is plug and play, the belt buckle thingy is plug and play but the power connector is different.
With some help from a great guy on reddit I've hooked up power to the seat and it moves in all the directions it can. Can't figure out how to connect the seat heating though. My floor connector has 4 wires which are ground, hot 12v, and a gray and pink wire, which i assumed are for the heating with gray being positive.
I've used the following connector image which is from a Tucson to figure out the pins on the seat side and connected 1 and 13 to my hot 12v and ground from the car.

I've tried to put gray and pink on 14 and 26 but the heater doesn't turn on (switch doesn't illuminate). My seat connector does not have pins 2 and 15 but i do have 4 of the small ones from 3 to 25.
Passenger side, which has heating only has pins 14, 26 and the 4 small ones. the floor connector has black, gray and pink.
Any idea how to get the heater to work again?
I'm absolutely no electrical mastermind so electrical diagrams are a bit above my head so if possible, i'd appreciate if you could explain like i'm five.
Appreciate any help
Andy
