Removing Seat Adjustment Controls

Model: BMW X5 E53 - Years 1999-2006
Part: Seat

You can remove the controls for the electric seat adjustment without taking the entire seat out of its place: simply remove the side plastic cover to which the control panel is attached. After removing the cover, disconnect the connectors from the panel and connect the new one, checking its proper operation before securing it. The panel also has numbered buttons that allow you to save up to three seat adjustment settings (consider two people of different heights driving the same car).
