Front Seat Heating System Components — Removal and Installation (BMW 3 Series E46)

Heated pads

In models with heated front seats, heated pads are installed on the seat cushion and backrest. To replace such a pad, you need to separate the upholstery, remove the faulty pad, attach a new pad and restore the upholstery. Please note that removing and installing the upholstery requires qualifications and experience. Therefore, it is recommended to entrust such work to specialists. Practice shows that it is very difficult for the car owner to do this work without damaging the upholstery.
