Greetings,

I managed to buy multiconture seats with ventilation and all the cables for my 2006 R500 306 HP. The donor was the 2008 or 2009 R500 388 HP. The problem I have is that I don't know how to connect the multicontour seats pneumatic pump. There are 3 cables that connect the pump (red, brown and green/black). I know where to connect the red and brown cables, but I got confused where to connect the green/black one. Оn the donor car, the cable went to a fuses box F4 and was connected to port 7 of the socket which goes into connector P6 (see the added pictures). I have checked the electrical diagrams of the pneumatic pump, but I got even more confused. I was unable to find diagrams that response to the donor car cable configuration. What I found was that car models build up to 31.08.2006 have same 3 cables, but the green/black one should be connected to the rear SAM module, car models build after 01.09.2006 have replaced green/black cable with 2 cables that go to the front CAN module. Can you guys give me any advice how to proceed the connection of the pneumatic pump?

Thank you in advance
