Heated / Electric seats Help!!

From lots of searching it would seem the heating and movement side of the seats is completely separate. I think I have figured it out, just need to figure out what the pins are called / par numbers so I can get the connectors ordered and wire it up myself.
Major pain in the backside though, as I can't use my car until I sort it as the seats are in their most forward, and highest position.

Ran out of light today, but i think I'll have to do that until i get it sorted. Its just mega frustrating as I'm the kind of person that wants it all done right now! haha. I'm so close, yet so far! I think I understand what I need to do, and in comparison to the heated seats wiring its a lot easier.
I'm going to pop to my local BMW Sytner tomorrow and see if they can get me the bits I need.

Well I'm totally flummoxed.
I've now managed to get the electric seats working all fine....it was easier than I thought to get them going. So at least not I can astrally use my car.
I'm struggling to get the heating working as it should. I checked and double checked all my wiring against the retrofit instructions and it appears to be right. However it very obviously isn't as for some strange reason the passenger side button controls the drivers heating and the drivers side button when pressed lights up for a split second then goes off........
I'm going to take it all out and re fit it all.
I'm starting to wish I never started or took it to someone who knows what they're doing to fit it all!
Stay tuned as there may be some sports seats appearing on the for sale section very soon!

That sounds as though it's something to do with pick paths & stick paths-the drivers side is picking but not sticking so it sounds like a latching problem of sorts :?

That makes a lot of sense now. I also pulled out the passenger seat and noticed a plug had come loose, so thats probably why it wasn't heating.
New problem though, I'm my quest to swap over the wires in the brown plug I managed to snap the plug in my ham fistedness. Swift call to BMW for a replacement part, I'm optimistic that I'll get it sorted.
Cheers for all the help guys
So, I am officially in need of help;
I bought RHD M Sport heated seats for my LHD Z4C.
Also bought new E86 console with the right switches for heated seats.
And of course, they're not working. Even though the fuses are there (!!??!!), they light up for less than a sec when pressed and that's it.
I read (probably) all the threads here (big thx to @Fishy Dave, @Marlon and everyone else contributing) and ended up searching the internet for 61110301538 Z4 part or the X3 equivalent, 61110307620. Sent various mail to Lithuanian/American.German dealers but nothing thereas well.
I am pretty confident that I'll find something eventually as there were a lot of E83 X3s sold where I live.
Meanwhile, I decided not to wait any more (long write up containing dyeing of the seats, interior strip and 3M matt carbon fibre vilyl wrap of the -hideous in my eyes- brushed aluminium parts pending) and put them in the car.
So everyone, plz help;
1. What is thic cable for? Does not connect anywhere.
2. Both my seats have a cable which I don't know where to connect it either
What is really really odd is that cables' part number is 52107919255 and having tried realoem and all forums that sh!tty llitle thing is simply untraceable.
