Switch Purpose and Function

The presented switch is dedicated to BMW F45 and X1 F48 models and is responsible for controlling the seat backrest adjustment on the right side of the cabin.

Using an original switch helps maintain a consistent appearance of the seat console and proper adjustment functionality.

Construction and Fit for BMW Seats

The switch is designed as a part to be mounted on the right side of the vehicle, meaning it has a corresponding housing shape and correctly positioned clips and connectors for factory seat mounting points. This ensures an organized installation process without the need for upholstery or wiring harness modifications.

The button housing is designed to match the BMW interior styling, allowing for a uniform look of the seat adjustment panel. The ergonomic shape of the button facilitates intuitive backrest adjustment operation, even while driving, without distracting from the road.

Application in Service and Interior Upgrades

This part is suitable for both professional BMW service centers and workshops specializing in upholstery and interior electrical repairs. It can be used for:

• repairing a damaged seat backrest adjustment panel,
• restoring full seat functionality after replacement or refurbishment,
• comprehensive vehicle interior restoration where original control solutions are to be maintained.

Using an original switch from the Switches, Controls, and Ignition Switches group helps maintain compliance with factory safety and comfort standards, which is important for both the user and the vehicle's value on the secondary market.
