M4 seat swap help

Hi guys , so Iv bought a set of f82 front seats for my OG M2 lci .
The seats arrived a couple of days ago and Iv had a look underneath , all the connections that go in to the grey module are fine but the ones that go in to the yellow connector have been pulled out .

I was hoping to do the swap myself but I have no idea what I'm doing here .

Does anyone have a diagram for driver and passenger seats for the yellow connector wiring ?

And how easy will this be for an auto electrician to do ?

I have photos of the connections under the seat but unfortunately it still won't be enough for you to work it out!

It's a shame they're all disassembled like that, short of BMW/BMW electrics specialist may be hard to ever resolve

Yeah, you're going to need to look at a set of installed seats for reference. Those connectors should not have been removed, and getting them back with the correct layout might be tough.

Do you mind sharing a rough figure on how much you paid for them? In the Youtube video posted on this thread the guy paid $1500. Were you around the same?

Well, unless the pins and their housings in the connectors are broken, it should be easy. The only tricky bit is having a wiring diagram. But in the meantime, take pictures of the connectors on your existing seats paying attention to the order of the black blue and white connectors fit into the yellow connectors, which pin locations are occupied, and what colour wires are going to those pin locations.

Also, remember to swap the grey modules over from your existing seats if you want to avoid a bunch of error codes.
