Subject: Like Brian said I added the iBus wire to PIN #22 on DB25: Author: 95seven40 : member since April, 2009 : 297 posts Posted on: 2009-09-24 02:26:05

iBus wire identification: SOLID WHITE, GRAY STRIPE, YELLOW SLASHES. On my 1995 740iL the iBus wire was in the LEFT REAR TAIL LIGHT section harness. I connected a female pin out to PIN #22 on the DB25(female) on the car side harness. So when you plug in the DB25(male) to ULF/TCU 54 pin harness from Tischer or Bimmer NAV the harness would have iBus signal, JUST LIKE BRIAN SAID. I am no expert but I am learning a lot from this forum. THANKS! guys for all the info.
