 What parts needed to hook up Sport Controller



Hi,
I just bought a sport mode controller from Florian and was wondering if anybody has a list of BMW part numbers for the extra parts I need.

I want it to also control the DSC switch and sport lamp. I know I need a lamp for the cluster but unsure about the other stuff. I did buy a dual fog light switch.

Is it the mini controller from JohnF in Germany? He should have supplied you with everything you need except a lamp for the "sport" light in the instrument cluster and a switch to turn it on and off. You might want to hook yours up differently, but I bought another DSC switch and mounted it beside the existing DSC switch, to turn sport mode on and off. Since they sit side by side, it's easy to turn them on/off at will. I carefully painted over the D and the C with black dull vinyl paint so only the S shows on the sport mode switch.

John does't sell a kit.
He sells his contoller with a harness that plugs into the controller. You have to attach the harness wire ends.

Yes, it is the mini controller. Florian bought it from John F, and didn't use it. I bought it from him.

It has a bunch of unterminated wires going to a connector that plugs in to the controller. Also are wires with crimped on contacts, some loose connector shells, and one cable with a black connector and green connector on the ends. Hope these are all I need.

I printed the manual on Ron's site, it really didn't show the connections for the DSC switch. Is that the latest manual (6 June 2004)?

So if all I need is the switch and lamp...then all I need is the lamp. Can anyone give me the lamp P.N. and I will get one tomorrow at the dealer.

Thanks,
Scott

I assume one is black with a female connector and one is brown with a female connector.

>>>>The added accessory function is for whatever. One is DSC.
In each case (sport or accessory) the controller is in series with the switch output.
