335i 2007 Seat assist/butler issue

[IncredibleWoody]

Hi all,

Recently purchased a 335i 2007, very happy with it so far! (I have the full comp warranty for a bit of piece of mind!)

I'm a little puzzled though, both seat belt assists are not working at all, no movement and no noise coming from them when the doors close.

I checked the fuses and it all looks good there, I then sent the previous owner a text and he mentioned that the previous owner to him had them 'coded off'. I've just got off the phone with my local BMW dealer's technician and he has told me that they are not something that can be coded off and that he can't help, he suggested bringing it in at £90 per hour to take a look...

All searches I make on forums are bringing up issues with the the extending arm as opposed to them not working at all.

Any ideas?

I coded mine out as they stopped grabbing the seat belt, try to find someone with the Carly for BMW APP.

probably coded off as they stopped grabbing the belt. I pulled the fuse on mine when i had an e92, managed just fine without them

That is the only reason anyone would code them out myself included.
