I thought I would add these pics for anyone interested in the plugins under the passenger seat. I have a 2008 Cooper S, this was all pre-wired. The Torx bit to remove the seat is size T20. The second pic is with the foam insert removed.

 

So, you don't have DSC, right?

 

Yes It has DSC

 

I was under the impression that the DSC computer when under the passenger seat on the 2007 MC & MCS. Has it changed for 2008, or am I misunderstanding the photo?

 

It's not the DSC "computer" that is under the passenger seat, just the DSC yaw sensor/accelerometer. In these pics it is the silver box closest to the vehicle centreline (just left of centre in the first, and the top of the picture in the second).

My 2008 MC with DCS looks exactly the same under the passenger seat.

 

That small silver box in the photo is the DSC yaw sensor.

edit: Chernobyl beat me to it.
