Cable for data and 12v power. Best used with 1999+ models with 16-pin OBD-II port under the dash.
The AiM SmartyCam3 Corsa and GP datalogging cameras need ECU data from somewhere and this hardwired install is our preferred method. On modern cars with OBD-II electronics a lot of data is running through the factory ECU wiring or the plug-in diagnostic port in the dash. For most 1999+ BMWs this is the most valuable data*: RPM, speed, throttle position, water and oil temperatures, individual wheel speeds, brake switch, gear indicator, and more from just two wires.
This harness uses a open-ended wire leads for you to splice or tap into existing wiring near the ECU or OBD por. Data is then transferred along the 2 meter data cable to your camera with a metal Binder 712 connector. No other cables should be required. The cable also includes power and ground leads to provide constant power to the camera.
* - not all functions may be available on BMW CAN sources. BMW decides which data is available through the CAN and it can vary from model-to-model. For more details on your BMW check out our AiM documentation at this link (https://www.bimmerworld.com/About-Us/BMW-Tech-Info#AiMdocs).
