Any one bought an MIA BOX V85TT E5+ 607100M

Any one had any luck buying one of these? I only want it to be able yo switch on my new heated seat but the only ones I can find seem to be in Italy and will incur import duties etc.
Or is there any way to switch on the seat without it?

I’m in the same boat. I’ve seen a few of them available from Italy, but once you add shipping and import duties it hardly seems worth it just to activate the heated seat. Has anyone found a supplier closer by, or figured out a way to enable the heated seat without needing the device?

Can you not just order one from a dealer? I managed to find one used on fb marketplace and it works a treat. So much better than the pointless article that was on E4 and 5

The heating element is obviously built into the seat. I’m presuming it’s 12v. What’s wrong with bringing a switched live trough the ignition switch? Would that work? How much are the import taxes? There would be no taxes to Ireland but there would still be carrage fees to pay. JJH

I have the E5+ Travel version that came with a heated seat and the MIA unit. Until this thread, I was not aware of the dependency to have MIA for the heated seat. With this integration, you can switch the heated seat to one of three levels via the left bar controls with an indicator on the dash.
The seat is connected to the MIA via a 2 pin connector (of a generic variety as I have bought some to connect to the accessory lead) so you could supply 12V but it would be at max heat which is not a level I have needed. You would need a controller of some description to vary the voltage. Maybe one used on heated clothing would suffice?

Or heated grips? JJH
