I812 Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I was looking for my plug kit under the rear seat and found an electrical plug that was just laying there. Not plugged into any receptacle and one for it could not be found. Maybe something to do with the factory tail box? Link to comment
TestPilot Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I doubt if it's the alarm connector. Since the alarm module is on the CAN bus, it's connector cannot be left open, or bus traffic is compromised. If no alarm or TPMS is fitted, the connector will be plugged into a small module containing a 120-ohm resistor. Link to comment
NewBlue Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 The TPM/Alarm I believe to be an 8 pin connector the connector for the rear accessory oulet is a 2 pin. I would think they would use a terminator cap if not used but I have both the rear aux socket and TPM so I don't know for sure. Could also be for the rear seat heater, I believe a 3 pin connector. Pulling this from what little memory I have left. Link to comment

I812 Posted April 4, 2011 Author Share Posted April 4, 2011 I will take a pick of it Monday after work. 7:30 pm. I have seen the seat heat connectors and this one is pretty large, like 1" diameter. Link to comment

wbrissette Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 I sounds like the diagnostic plug. That's where either BMW plugs in their computer, or you do with something like the GS-911. Wayne Link to comment
