Anybody knows where the cigarette lighter wiring runs/routes throughout an E92Pre-L ?
Hi All,
Car: 330d Pre-LCI E92 2008 with IDrive Hope you are well. As above, I am installing a boot release retrofit using an original switch so I have 3 wires to connect: - one wire goes to pin 39 of the CAS near the steering column - one wire goes to the (front centre console) ciggy lighter for the illumination/backlight feed - one wire goes also to the (front centre console) ciggy lighter for ground Now, rather than removing the wood trim, Idrive knob and gear surrounds etc to access the ciggy lighter wiring, If someone is able to tell me where the ciggy lighter wiring routes or passes by, I could simply tap in at that more convenient location? For example, if the ciggy wiring goes from the centre console to a Light Control Module (i'm guessing here), if someone can tell me the location of the light control module and which pin the ciggy lighter wire is, that would be much easier for me! All I know (from another forum) is the the illumination/backlight wire in a E92 Pre-Lci is Grey with a Red stripe, hoping this helps? I'm not able to use the headlight switch as for some reason it does not contain the illumination wire in its connector/harness... All advice highly appreciated. Thanks. |

I had a look and it appears the cigarette lighter wiring goes to connector X11001. So, I have 2 questions here? 1: I understand X11001 is near the glove compartment, any info exactly whereabouts it is? On top, below, on the side? 2: According to the wiring diagram on newTIS (link provided below), all the wires going into X11001 are 2.5mm2 and GN/GE (Green-yellow) in colour, hence how can I know which of those wires is for the front cigarette lighter? https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...socket/uax38P0 Thanks. |

I've just realised it is pin 8 after looking at it again.
Ok, so pin 8 it is, but it seems there are 2 wires joining together which then enter pin 8? I only need to tap into the wire going from front cigarette lighter to pin 8, as I need the illumination feed from here....the other wire going into pin 8 is for the charger socket which does not have a illumination on it, hence will not be of any use to me. Thanks. |
