Guys i'm trying to retrofit the sport button on my cooper S all 4 (here in italy isn't standard), i need a kind soul to help me figuring out the cable setup...

I need a picture of the connector X14272 in the JBE (Junction Box Electronics):


This is mine, and technically is missing 2 wires in the black part of the connector...


This a pic of the JBE


I need someone to look and tell me if there are 3 cables that go in the black part of the connector... Pleaseeee help me!!!

 

why would you bother, the sport button makes bugger all difference, it's even harder to detect the changes in steering and throttle response than the sport button made in my Clubman.

 

Well... it's a 0$ mod, so why not And most of all because now i'm at 99% of the work... Just miss the right pin!

 

Do you also have to reprogram the ECU to get the better throttle response?

 

You need to reprogram the ECU and tell it that you have the sport button. I already did that, now what is missing is the physical switch to turn it on

 

No one willing to help?? :( Its a 15min job!!

 

Can you wait for the weekend? Also where is it located and how do you remove the carpet?

Bill

 

You're my hero and Yeahm i can totally wait

So it's located on the passenger side, bottom on the right... You can see a small "door".. By opening it u'll get the fuse box... Now u need to remove the plastic surrounding it... To remove it there are no screw, it's just a pulling thing...

I'll soon post some pics to show you the parts to remove

 

Ok. I'll post pictures of what it looks like and try to answer your question.

Bill

 

In your picture (color), where is connector X14272? Also, I'm having trouble correlating between the picture and the B&W figure.

Maybe it will be clear when I have the actual in front of me.

Thanks,

Bill

 

Yeah, i know... I also had some thinking with just the BW pic, that's because the bw draw is horizontal while in real life the box is vertical
In this picture is the last one on the right bottom... Left near the C-G write, under the RL12...

 

That makes it easy. I'll post later today or in the am.

Bill

 

Thanks a lot!

 

Looks like I have only one wire as well. Let me know if this helps or if I need to dig deeper.

Bill

 

You have the sport button right? If so...... damn... They changed the position of the sport button pin......

Thank you so much.... You were very kind and to me, you're the essence of a real online community

 

Yes, I do have the sport button. I was afraid the box looked a bit different.

It was a pleasure and good luck in your quest.

Bill

 

Hope this helps:

 

unluckily it will not work on the R60 because of the missing cable in the connector :(

 

good morning, I apologize for the inconvenience. even if it's been a long time have you managed to find the right cables? thank you so much Alexander
