Hi all,

just changing the coding plug in my car as I had a 325i one in there and not a 320i as it should be.

I noticed when I took the sound insulator panel off from under the steering wheel that a small blue plug was hanging down, and not fixed into anything.....see below.

Does anyone know what this is for?

The code on it is: 1371658.9

I *think* it plugs into a wire coming off the indicator stalk - for the OBC control.

Yes it is the plug that goes from the Stalk but you dont have the right stalk for it to fit to, you just have the standard stalk

aah cool....yeah I should have PM'd you Alan. Well the plugs are now changed and the MPGs are showing correctly again :-)

I'll be sending the 2 remaining plugs back next week - can you email me your address? think_cellular@hotmail.com

Cheers, and sorry I've had them so long!
