From: PShovestul_at_aol.com Date: Sun, 25 Aug 1996 22:35:36 -0400 Subject: <E30> OBC and Cruise Control installation Like the fellow digester (from the UK I believe), I too have successfully completed the installation of the on-board computer into my '86 325. Since I was contemplating open heart surgery on the dash, I decided to install the cruise control also. The parts were obtained from a 325es that had an misunderstanding with another vehicle. Parts were removed from donor vehicle by inspection and just like the manual says, " installation is the reverse of removal ". Start at one end of the harness and label / remove everything connected to the harness. All connections for both installations are plug-ins. OBC parts consist of display unit, harness, relay box (black plastic about 1.5" x 4" x 6" mounted near ABS ECU), turn signal switch, and horn. The donor vehicle had most of the front end removed so I couldn't find the horn. This horn is supposed to sound for 30 seconds after three attempts to start the car without entering the correct code. If any other digesters can provide insight on the location of this horn along with the color codes of the wires, please e-mail direct. I believe it is mounted on the drivers side below the bumper and inside the valance panel. The turn signal switch is needed if you want to retain the feature that allows you to cycle through the OBC displays by pressing the end of the turn signal switch. The relay box is essential. It disables the main relay or the fuel pump relay, depending on year and model, Cruise control parts consist of an ECU & bracket, harness, clutch switch & bracket, servo assembly & bracket, steering column switch, connection adapter from rear of instrument cluster. The cruise control installation is detailed in the factory service manual and provides useful insight, but in hardly essential.

> Hi, There are somethings to watch out for. You must have the correct coding plug for your model of car otherwise the mpg/range/speed functions will give you incorrect readings. Try and get an obc from the same model of car but if you can't don't worry, you can always fork out for the coding plug (sorry, don't know the cost here in US). The installation is a breeze. Just swap out the units and put in the new cable. If you don't want the code function or the stalk control then that's it! I've not tried to install the code function (I have all the parts) as I want to use the output to electronically control the rev limit of the car when other people (service guys etc) will be driving it. I'll send you a complete copy of the US parts list (all E30 cars). If you don't receive it by then end of the week then send me a reminder as I'll probably have forgotten - life/work is very busy just now.
> I have the clock/temp and want OBC but am not sure what parts I need.. Yes. with the correct code plug. > harness Yes. There are actually two required if you want the code function. > relay box Only if you wand the code function > turn signal switch Only if you get it for free. Imho it's not worth the hassle. > horn Only if you want the code function and associated alarm
> Yip
> Your welcome. If you need more help then just ask. Ciao Paul
