Hello everyone,
I have too much spare time during this lockdown so I decided to have some fun and install my first mod on My 2019 M2C

The AK motion display,I've seen this tutorial

and the instruction from AK, then I decided to give it a go

Everything goes well till the point where I have to locate the CAN BUS connector

Picture 1 a screenshot from the tutorial,picture 2 my car with the missing connector

My car is a 2019 M2C RHD and I have manual seats if this detail helps

Does someone knows Where I can find that CAN BUS connector?
Any advice?

Thanks for the attention

Hey doesn't fully answer your question but in essence i believe u need to tap into the PT-CAN in the FEM. I recently did this on a RHD M2C when I was sniffing the canbus for my own home brew display.

You need to find the CAN-H and CAN-L and tap into these. I cannot fully remember which pins but i think i used 47 and 48 on connector A173*8B. These links should help you deduce what u need.

I would use your vin to double check as mine had electric seats delivered in AU.

thanks for your help! I really appreciate your reply
I found really difficult to find the FEM connectors,they're buried under the carpet
Did you remove the carpet to reach them?

[MR RIZK]

From memory I had to remove the sill plate and the kick panel to be able to lift and fold the carpet out of the way.

[prompt]

I'm waiting confirmation from the AK support,just to be sure about the wires I need to connect

Btw the links you sent me were really helpful but on that website my VIN is not recognized
so I cannot be 100% sure

[MR RIZK]

Good luck.. 👍 let us know how you go with support.

Have you tried referencing the pinout diagram? I haven't looked to see if my car is missing the same connector as you yet. I'll check next week when I install it myself. I have a LHD DCT car though and electronic seats.

https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/f...tronic-module/

Click "Pinout (PIB) A173 Front Electronic Module", it is the 6th option down. Also the 5th option down may help you as well.


EDIT: It appears someone linked this above too as well and you may have already seen.

last time I tried I was able to locate the pins thanks to the wiring diagram that I've been provided by Mr Rizk

prompt Hey I just received and installed my display for my 2020 M2C Left-hand drive, USA, and electric seats vehicle. Fortunately for me, my car matched their instructions exactly with all wire colors etc. Sorry I cant provide any other help or input.

thanks for sharing your experience

I think my issue was coming from the RHD layout

You can also use CON8, we have an overview of the Awron installation here: https://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1017936. Same steps should apply for your AK unit.

Hi there,

I just installed this on my RHD m140i after sitting on it since March and just come across your post looking for something else. You do have the connectors required for the install. The orientation of the LHD and RHD FEM module are different, in the LHD car the plug 1 & plug 2 are the first thing you see and the RHD they are right at the back covered by the carpet.

I found it impossibel to pull the carpet back to give me enough room to work on the connectors so it took longer to complete the install.

It's good to see a video showing the installation process all I went with was the user manual and I thought that the FEM was on the RHD under the steering wheel as its on the RHD on LHD, so that took up some of my time.

Any questions let me know

I've edited your original picture show plug 1 & 2

Here's some pics I took when I installed it as well. As you can see room is quite tight and not much slack on cables. It's do-able without taking carpet out but a pain.

No probs, depending on when you bought your's you may need to update firmware to get all functions working. Latest firmware is from 5th June 2020, I had issue's getting IAT, Exhaust temp and boost pressures and needed to update firmware for everything to work. It's a great piece of kit.

[prompt]

I finally installed the screen and it works
the issue is that the car troughs a lot of warnings
and DSC is default off now

have I done something wrong?

I even installed the last firmware

[prompt]

I double checked all the wirings and connections and
I don't know why but after a short drive all the errors disappeared and at the second restart the screen works

If you short the can bus wires you will get heaps of random errors so make sure no wires are pinched
