Just wiring in an OBC on my car today and the white connector with the 2 green wires which plugs in behind the glove box had nowhere to go. The female plug on the car's loom has a plug already in it from the alarm.
What is the connector for? and does anyone else have a BMW alarm and OBC? I'm sure cars must have left the factory with both options so I don't want to just splice the connectors all together.

Fuel pump cut off.

Useless unless you plan on using the OBC code function. (but then why would you if you have an alarm)
