It was done when helping Riz to fix his OBC with dead pixel. This is required since I don't own an E36, but would be useful for E36 owners anyway since you don't have to constantly go to the car to test it out.Riz's OBC is the 8-button variant with only one connector at the back - X1070, black connector. Wiring should be similar to 11 or 18 button with extra power connections, the first schematic below is for 18-button OBC which is a superset of 8-button OBC.To power it up, these three (3) pins need to be drivenpin 17 (gnd) - groundpin 18 (pow) - +12vpin 14 (ign) - +12vPin 16 can be supplied with +12v to light up the buttons. Picture as follows, cheers.Reference:<a href="http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87693" target="_blank">http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87693</a>Soldered directly because there's no connector suitable connector around<img src="http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy197/aidilj/E36_OBC/IMG_3746_G.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Fired up<img src="http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy197/aidilj/random/IMG_3748.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy197/aidilj/E36_OBC/obc_diagram.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /><img src="http://i791.photobucket.com/albums/yy197/aidilj/E36_OBC/x1070.png" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></p></blockquote><p></p>
