G20 Seat Heating Distribution?

Does any one know if you code the front drivers seat heat distribution with eSys that it actually does anything and works as it should? Ie does the G20 have separate seat heat pads?

I know you can code it and get the settings up in the AC/Idrive menu, but do they actually do anything? I.e can you have just the seat back hot without the bottom?

Thanks

Thanks but that doesn't answer my question. I know we can code it, but does it actually work in the G20? I'm not sure the seats have the multiple heating pads needed.

I did it and it doesn't seem to do anything. And it weirdly started defaulting to weird stuff (i.e passenger was butt only) so i just got rid of it.

There is only one SM module in G20, so You can enable it on driver's seat only.

also Driver seat heating pad is at bottom and back(2 pads)... but... only one thermometer. It should works only on bottom heating pad.

One more information, you will get an error if you check status with ISTA.

Hi,

I have the heat distribution coded in my car. While it won't hold a setting for front passenger, it seems to be working on driver's seat.

While I haven't used ISTA on my car, I ran diagnostics from my MX+ OBDII and it can back error free -- and I know it works as I used on my son's Mini
