How to wire Seat Light Emblems to "Always On"

TakeOne · 02-20-2022, 06:00 AM

It was widely asked in another thread with the Mod Emporium Kit being offered. Here is an instructional video that will hopefully help for any/all who are interested

Awesome video. I just got the kit in the mail and you definitely saved me some time from figuring it out myself. Props to you!

Usually when you unlock your car. Go try it out!

Has anyone here noticed that the emblems making a buzzing/humming noise when they're lit up?

I installed this today with the help of this guide and I noticed the same thing, but with the engine on its not noticeable.

From research, I have read that its normal supposedly

Ye I forgot to post that I confirmed that this is normal - all the M cars with these seats make this same noise

This mod was cool until it wasn’t.

Shorted some how which shut off all interior lighting around the gearbox, EDC/steering/M buttons, lock/unlock buttons.

I’d recommend to run a different line to a fuse-tap either near the passenger footwell or to the rear trunk. Not sure what the bill is gonna be from BMW to reset the max counter on some lighting module.

It's normal. Even on my 2019 with the revised badges, they make the buzzing noise when they're on.
