Hey Sauce,

Don't give up on looking for the way to get the massage function to work.

While I don't "know" any of this for sure, it seems that all of the massage components are in the seat and once you can get power to them then it should work.

Where is the pump located? I would think it's on the seat....

Assuming that, what happens when you put power to the pump?

nothing, the pump doesn't start because it need the module and the touch screen to select the massage function.

With all due respect, the module may select the massage function..... but once it does, it's simply a matter of providing 12 volts to start the pump/controller.

I am not saying you can control it through the seat switches, my take on it would be to provide a 12 volt connection to the massage motor/pump and then see if/how it works.

I'm assuming the MMI is a complicated switch that allows the front seat switch to control a number of function and are selected/displayed via the MMI.

Again, no disrespect as you have done way more than most would ever have tried.
