I need a ETM for a 2011 E90 335d.

Needed to replace the OBD2 plug. The little tabs that are used to attache to the car broke. I wrote everything down when I started this but I got distracted for about 6 months and I cannot find my notes about what color wire goes to what pin. I have a pig tail out of another e90 courtesy of Strictly German in Braselton, GA. Nice people.

Unfortunately, the wire color are different so I'm still at square one. I can find pin-outs all over the place. The wire color is a different thing.

Are the pins removable on the OBD port? If yes, had you considered depinning your German one and 1 by one move the wire w/pin into German OBD connector? Lots of work either way interms of connecting the different color wires together (with your requested chart) or just move the pins over one at a time. I'm here to learn about this connector. Thanks

tried de-pinning. Bought the tool. No joy. Some of them just refused to come out. At this point the damage is down. I think I found something on ebay. PDF wiring manual.

My method of de-pinning is a very small flat blade screw driver. You push the little shark tooth thing down while pulling the wire end of the pin back wards. I worked in the harness that connects door to chassis and added 2 pins in LR and RR doors for addition of comfort access function in those doors.

I hadn't ever dug into the OBD connector. From your Amazon link, they look to be receptacles rather than pins. The little shark tooth anchor should be the same and only difference is female vs male. I'll try to find the receptacle specs for the OBD. I have an intermittant thing where my Foxwell scanner reads sometimes and not others. If I run power from home to the micro-mini port of Foxwell, it always works. I think i have a receptacle that is pushed in a little bit where it doesn't make good contact with Foxwell's pin. I'm betting it is the connection for scanner's power.
