Seat heating

2011 BMW X5 50iSECTION Seat heating

The junction box electronics send a query to determine which seat module is installed. If the junction box electronics receive no check-back signal, it handles activation of the seat heating. The junction box electronics generate a pulse-modulated signal to activate the seat heating. If a seat module is fitted, the seat heating is activated directly by the seat module.
