Converting a BMW G06 X6M seat into an office chair, Part 2
Two years ago I converted this BMW G06 X6M seat into an office chair for a charity. The auction house did a horrible job listing it and I was the only bidder....so it's back in my garage.
In the previous video, I was able to get all of the power movements including lumbar working off of an AC-DC converter and had a custom seat base fabricated by @hyperformancellc . You can check out that video here: czcams.com/video/U0Tfb8y40lQ/video.htmlsi=JpvSFLM6xfFRfLkm
In this video, I converted the power movements to run on an 18v Ryobi battery using a DC-DC converter. Since the seat base is made to roll, it's much more convenient to have it powered by battery.
Please like and subscribe for alerts because in the the next video I will wire the seat heating and the seat ventilation.

      Take a look under the seat to see if there is a connector. If so, then you should be able to power the seat from that connector when you find which pins are for power. Note: Don't start randomly putting power to pins under the seat. You could blow the seat airbag!

    Thanks for the video, I am getting conflicting info on the mirrors, the salvage yards are saying the "camera" is part of the front crash avoidance system, and the auto high beam mirror looks nearly identical to the auto dimming, just a part number change.

    • @ironicallyengineered2486
      @ironicallyengineered2486 Před měsícem

      The good way to tell is to plug the VIN of the part truck into a website that gives you the window sticker. You will need at least a Laramie with the level 1 package. But the window sticker should list SmartBeam if the truck has it. If you can see a picture of the actual mirror, it has a forward looking "eye" with a red and a green sensor inside. It does not have a camera.

  • @zstroken

    • @ironicallyengineered2486
      @ironicallyengineered2486 Před 2 měsíci

      I "think " you need to have auto climate control to have the humidity sensor in the windshield. But you can easily unclip the rear view mirror trim and check to see if you have happen to have the sensor on a lower trim level truck. My truck has the Level 2 equipment package with auto climate control.

    Do not buy replacement hoses from dealer. I also own a 2019 ct2025 and blew a hydro hose for the bucket tilt function and ordered a hose from Kioti dealership who sells the exact same tractor with all orange paint. I waited a couple weeks and then called to check on the part.... " Ohh we FORGOT to order that. " was their reply, so I went about 2 miles away to a hydraulic hose company who gave me a replacement hose on the spot for cheaper AND IT IS A REINFORCED WALL HOSE which is superior to the stock hoses that came with tractor and will likely prolong the hose life..... GO ELSEWHERE FOR BETTER HOSES!

      They claim that they did and it was within spec. They also replaced the control valve at the platform because if you were curling back very slow the tractor would bog down and the bucket would stop moving until you moved the lever farther to bump it past that point. It has blown a hose since then and another one is leaking...all of these on the curl function of the bucket.
