Hi Myles,
I would like to know the location of that relay you added. If you can post a pic, would be very useful. Is that used to deliver power and signals to the OBC wiring harness ?.

I haven't sourced one yet, but when I get my hands on one and my radio code as well (wasn't with the service books?) I'll document everything :DQuote:

The OBC can be used without the switch one the stalker. You just dont get the OBC text up in your instrumentpanel.
The ice warning will alert you when the temperature gets below +1 degrees Celsius. OR if the temperatursensor is not installed(-37 degrees celcius signal).
That's pretty cool, I wonder what language Japanese spec E34s and E32s have their faceplates? English?Quote:

The "Dingdong" you can have very easy.
Just pull up the hand brake a bit for a split second while driving.
I tested that today on the Highway :D
just to wake up my shade tree mechanic buddies in my car
The relay lives under the rear seat. It's part number is 65 81 1 378 027.
It's part 12 on the realoem diagram.
The relay operates the horn when you enter the wrong code multiple times on the OBC. It also supplies power to the OBC and the OBC won't operate without it.
Bruno's site calls it the "auxiliary horn relay" and suggests that you bridge pin 17 to pin 9 to bypass the need for it, but I prefer not to cut into the wiring loom and it was cheap and easy to get the relay and install it.
thats another mod for the list. which wrecker's did you get the OBC from?Quote:

Go for german wrecking at rocklea (sp? - mental blank) I think I saw an obc with a cracked screen sitting on the floor in one of their e34s in the yard recently - thats good for the front english language plate.
Rob - we'll have to meet up a some stage.
indeed we shall. But let me get my exhaust replaced first, smells so bad i can't drive with the windows down:(Quote:
