Any info on fitting the 6 button OBC/clock?

6 button is a straight swap for the existing clock. Loom connects to the back of speedo pod and the gong. The other end goes to the outside temp sensor in the LH air duct.

Got the full monty 6 button one complete with stalk to change modes do i need to do anything else as mine came out of a 325i tourer?

Ie; Calibrate or similar for 4 pot?

Should be fine. The late 4 pot Lux models all had the 6 button OBC as standard.

You will need the relay control module that is attached to the ECU mounting plate for the OBC to function.

[Cloggy Saint]

The relay box is only there for the code function, everything else will work without it. Gaszman, do you have the 6 or 13 button model?

[gaszman]

13 button type but have noticed there another plug on the loom to the engine bay twin plug but i have no idea to what it plugs into

I stand corrected. I thought you needed the OBC, loom and relay for it to work and the temp sensor, gong etc could be optional? I'll be fitting mine next week!

[Cloggy Saint]

for basic functions, time/date, av mpg/mph, stopwatch and maximum speed setting you just need the obc and loom. For the outside temperature you need a seperate loom going to the temp' sensor in the passenger side air-duct. The gong and stalk aren't really necessary but are nice to have.

there is a blank loop for part of the loom that is something to do with the code function/alarm bit. if this plug is missing the car wont start as it eventually feeds the coil and fuel pump.

the wires are green/red i think.

[gaszman]

have found this wire plug the wires back in as a loop starts sweet but i have a plug that has no where to go

this the loop plug but the one in the engine bay is diffrent any help

[Cloggy Saint]

It'll be the temp' sensor and/or horn. Nothing else goes to the engine bay.

[nickso]

temp sensor colours are blue and brown. the other one will be for the obc horn. you dont need it.

[gaszman]

ok will take pic but loks like h/lamp plug brown wires

[gaszman]

ok this plug is on the loom in the engine bay unless ive pushed to much through can anybody help

help please

[gaszman]

just fitted the stalk and the com bit is working but now i have a light on the lead fron the stalk no idea what that does ??????

[gaszman]

ok guys to re cap have 1 yellow wire fron comp ? twin green pic 1 then plug in engine bay pic 2 any help cheers guys oh yes and the light on the indicator stalk ?

[slinky2000]

Is the engine bay plug not the horn?

I've also got the yellow from the back of the comp and no idea where to plug it and also the green one!

[Cloggy Saint]

It'll be the temp' sensor and/or horn. Nothing else goes to the engine bay.

Like I said, horn or temp' sensor. As for the light on the end of the stalk...?? Got a picture? Slinky, the yellow plug goes into the empty socket on the back of the clocks.

[slinky2000]

na theres a two pin plug with a yellow wire coming from the back of the computer that's not plugged in, its only a short one, like under 10cm long.

Is that the same one gaszman?

[gaszman]

yes yellow plug but why the light on the indicator stalk lights up when you use the indicators is it to do with the alarm

[tomtomiS]

yes yellow plug but why the light on the indicator stalk lights up when you use the indicators is it to do with the alarm

wtf? there is no light on the indicator stalk

[gaszman]

ok hows this oh its a light

this is in the loom from the obc stalk
this is the little yellow one from behind the obs

this is the green wires two pin plug plugs into ?

and this wire is also on the loom but under the bonnet have also the temp sender and horn as well as this

[tomtomiS]

but its not a light actually on the stalk tho is it? it also looks too far over to be the abs warning light. have you by any chance knocked out the backlight for the heater fan speed control?

[slinky2000]

I dont think I've a light ...

[gaszman]

no its on the loom from the indicator obc stalk comes on well flashes when you use the indicators 1 flash then off strange

[Chris-W]

Odd tow-bar set up?

[tomtomiS]

ive not got that on mine, how bizarre! that really is strange!

[slinky2000]

what does the light look like? is it the white round thing?

[gaszman]

its above the cig lighter the lenght of the cable is 15" long

[Cloggy Saint]

Looks like one of the lamps for the light levelling system?
