I've taken an OBC off my frag car to fit to my '91 325 touring with cruise control. One of the OBC plugs came off the back of the clocks on the frag car. I've been told that the cruise control also plugs into the back of the clocks. On my frag car there were only 3 multiplug connections. With my new OBC I'll have 4 multiplugs. I don't want to strip out all my dash only to discover I can't fit the OBC because I have cruise. Anyone come up against this before? My car currently has the six button clock.

The OBC plugs into the back of the clocks using its yellow multi pin connector.
The cruise has a single pin connector which goes onto the aditional green socket adaptor which plugs into your clocks.
If you don't have the green adaptor i have them here at 8 quid posted.

Cheers Spadge, I presume if I have Cruise I'll all ready have said adaptor? If not I'll be in touch.

Yes mate it will be a single black pin connector going in to the back of the cluster into the green adaptor.
