R56 Tachometer connector pinout? (need CAN high/low)

Hello,

I'm in the process of adding an AIM MXL2 dashboard on my 2013 MCS.
It connects through CAN high/low, and needs ground and 9-15V feed.

While the AIM manual suggests to hook at the gateway connector, I was wondering if the OEM tachometer cluster connector has CAN bus high/low, ground and power (when key inserted)

Does anyone has a pinout/schema for such connector?

Thanks a lot!

you can actually spice at the OBD socket...The CAN bus wires are the yellow/black (D_CAN_H) and yellow/brown (D_CAN_L). also see this

Thanks, but I needed to connect the harness at the tach plug :(

Anyway, the shop already made the wiring, will post the pinout when I get the car back!

Cheers!

Edit:

OK, turns out the Kombi connector has CAN bus but the wrong one (so I've been told by the shop), they proceeded hooking the dashboard at the gateway connector. Also, I asked for key-on power, but so fare they could only connect to the fuse box with engine-running...I'll try to get this on-key instead.

Thanks for the help!
