Combo Box

Can anyone post pics of their combo box and the wires going into it?


Any Mini model from 2011-2014 R series.

Thanks, Stan

Update:


I THINK it is under the driver's side seat.


Found this which MAY be the wiring for the ComboBox

Combox

Here are some more pics. This is of the BMW Combox, but almost identical except for one extra connection.


Called the Combox

FYI, the part is called a Combox (as in communication). Just clarifying to help make finding the information easier.

It wouldn't let me change the title. I am going to detail the wiring harness and diagram when it arrives

Update: the bmw link I gave earlier is the correct pin configuration.


With the combobox connected the Bluetooth is fully functional

I have my Combox plugged directly into the Visual Boost Radio via the green FiberOptic MOST connector.


PROBLEM-


Does the MOST connector connect anywhere else? In the footwell, does it connect to the ECU?


This applies to the NAV system and or Visual Boost system.




Does anyone know?


If you have a Connected system, look in the passenger's side footwell and see if the green fiberoptic line goes into anything.


I know it also goes into the Combox, but FROM where?


All of my coding is done and enable, just missing this one piece of info.
