Looking to connect up an additional cigarette lighter/USB charging point in the glove box.

Ideally would like to pull power from plug C302.

Has anyone done this before? If so, are the parts still available to create a OEM style connector?

I have had quite a few pins and plugs for the E30/36/46 from Cotswolds over last few years, It can be trial and error on RealOem but I'm sure if you give Jon a shout at Cotswolds he will have a better look on his system for the right shape plug :thumb:

Good idea. Have contacted Jon. Will post the part numbers here if we manage to find them.

They are of a female type bullet connecter so would imagine an electrical outfit should be able to supply them. You could power the unit off terminal H on the C302 which would be for an amp where fitted and is controlled by fuse 27 which also controls the central locking circuit. (30amp)
