As long as you have V9 (00505571500) seat control module, I think you should be able to set the bit and it will work. That's what @Pasquitos80 proved to me.

 

I just ordered one off of eBay... As long as it's sw 9.0 it should work.

...I actually had my 2 year old scream yesterday when the seat came back on her legs. Not being able to disable this is utter bullshit.

 

So both 505571490 and 505571500 will work if I have heated/power seats?

490 has version 9 apparently: 2018 ALFA ROMEO GIULIA LH FRONT LEFT DRIVER SEAT CONTROL MODULE 00505571490 | eBay

Where is the location of this? I presume under the driver's seat. Is it accessible without removing the seat?

Not sure where, but seat removal is really easy.

@Drew Can you confirm if both part numbers above will work if I have heated/power seats?

 

well, just installed a used eBay 2022 Stelvio seat module in my 2017 Giulia. Hooray, the seat stays where I set it when opening the car door...no more crushed rear passengers! (I did my best contortionist act with little mirror and short T25 Torx driver to change out without removing the seat...)

did you also manage to make the comfort options work? Heated seats etc. with remote start?

I apologize for never responding to your question.
I recently made changes to activate the Driver Comfort option (heated seat, wheel, etc when remote starting
At this time, haven't had sufficiently cold weather to see I succeeded

 

It is under the driver's seat and I replaced it without removing my seat.

 

Maybe mine is broken, or this was changed with software updates, but mine hasn't Auto moved in years

 

If you have it far back enough it doesn't activate. Or a recent software update did it for you or it's truly broken.

 

I just confirmed I don't have that setting so nothing to turn on or off

 

it could be that one of position sensors on seat has error - in that case easy entry stops working. but to be sure you have to scan car for errors.

 

I've scanned through the obdii many times but nothing has ever come up, but that could be the issue

 

Isn't there a calibration that needs to be done in the module from MES?

 

If there's something specific to the seat, I didn't find it but i'll take another look. I assumed the proxi will take care of it but i guess not.

 

We need to get OP updated with a sticky.

 

Hey,

I am looking into upgrading the CSWM to be able to disable the Easy Exit and maybe also to enable the Auto-on driver comfort function.
According to my research, there are at least 3 versions of CSWM

• 50537138 is changed to the new number 50557149 (this is what @ttaidapos has)
• 50537139 is changed to the new number 50557150 (this is what @Type952 has)
• 50537140 is changed to the new number 50557151 (this is what I have in my car, 31.08.2017 built Belgium spec car with 8-way adjustable electric seat with memory, heated seats, heated steering)

Prices: (at the time of posting, Hungary)
50557149: ~ 55EUR
50557150: ~170EUR
50557151: ~65EUR

It would be very interesting to see the difference between the three versions, as there is a huge price difference if you order them from the dealer.
Maybe ordering 50557150 does not worth it and a cheaper alternative can also to the job.

Could someone with Keyeper access help out and comment on the difference between the different variants please?

@ttaidapos @Type952 Could you please describe your setup like I did? Maybe that can also show the differences between the variants.

I would really appreciate the help.

 

I'll gather all the info into a single post. I'm also interested in the Auto-on comfort functionality. I'll give MES another look. I have the latest ETM and I don't see the option like my stelvio has. I need to install a SWG on my stelvio first and compare byte settings. Long journey bit don't hold your breath.

 

So you tried this and it didn't work?

as for auto-on comfort option these two bytes should be changed.
byte 78 - auto-on comfort
x0xxxxxx - disabled
x1xxxxxx - enabled

byte 148 - auto-on comfort menu
xx0xxxxx - not present
xx1xxxxx - present

 

I missed this. I'll give this a try, hard to test though.

 

Yes, it is hard I would say, that if it won't work, the status will go back to OFF after trying to turn it ON. If it stays ON, it should work.

 

I don't that will hold. I was able to toggle easy entry and it stuck even though it wasn't functional.

 

Setting stuck. I'll update when it gets cold outside 😀

 

Well I made the changes and the auto comfort option showed up, but when I enable it, it sets itself back to off. May need a different hex to put in that.

That is already better, than what @Drew had.
Would be interesting to see what causes the difference.
Maybe HVAC software level?
What do you guys have?
If it works for @ttaidapos and that software is newer, maybe all @Drew needs to do is, get the HVAC updated.


You can try testing with a cooling spray, so you dont have to wait months

 

Where is the sensor? I can use compressed air bottle upside down 😀 if it's accessible.

I'll post my mes report with versions later tonight once the kids are sleeping.

 

It's under the right hand side mirror

 

So I installed a SW9.0 module, had a bunch of issues with proxi that I fixed (computer settings), did the seat calibration....

And partial success. Easy exit seat is disabled and the seat memory works. However I can not re-enable the easy exit function - Everytime I set it to yes it just reverts back to no.

....any ideas???

 

What are the before-after part numbers?
I mean the one starting with 505.

 

 

Okay. What is the version of the original module, that was in the car from the beginning?

 

And also version of your ETM

 

Original module is 00505371390

ETM is 085.000.046

 

That is a good replacement, so this is not the issue.
You changed byte 74 to AA, right?
Any DTCs in the CSWM or any other module?

 

I had AB in byte 74. I changed it to AA with no effect - easy exit can still not be set to on. Also no DTCs in the module.

 

Hmm, tough question. Are you sure the seat calibration was successfull?

 

For what it's worth, here's my setup.

ETM: MV-090.000.061
CSWM: Note that's not my VIN number, see FIAT drawing number and Software number.

TRW

 

I've read through the whole thread and wanted to confirm something - if I have ETM v56, to permanently disable easy exit I'll need the seat module v9 and manually set byte 74? I don't need to be able to switch it on and off - I just want it off.

 

Correct. You'll need to complete a proxi followed by a CSWM calibration afterwards.
