Hoping someone can shed some light on this for me...

In the pic of my wires in my F10 '13 535i xDrive engine, can someone let me know what #'d CAN wires the green and brown wires from the S2 connect to? I must be color blind cuz I can't put my eyes or my finger on this.

Thanks in advance!

Where is this harness located in your car? I have the stage 2 but don't have the CANBUS located where Terry instructions shows. I was told that I have run stage 1. I was just curious if there is another location?

I'm pretty sure this is the CANBUS on my car...I emailed Terry to ask if this pic looks like it will support S2 and he said yes. It's hard to probably see because of the close up pic, but this is located on the passenger side under the trim panel.

Thanks.

Thank you I'll take a look at mine this afternoon when I reinstall.

Man, that's strange... your wiring arrangement there looks totally different than my '13 535i xDrive.

I know this doesn't help much, but by way of contrast, I just installed my JB4 S2 this past weekend and the arrangement of the wires looks exactly like the picture referenced in Terry's link above. In particular, that fat red wire from location #6 in your photo is all the way on the right, and there's a yellow wire right under it. (Uh, I guess I already said it looked exactly like Terry's picture didn't I... :/).

Thanks for the note and for seeing what I'm trying to wrap my head around!! I don't get it...the wiring placements look to be different as well as the colors! If anyone can weigh in, I'd be grateful!

I have the same harness as you and tried to install the S2 but kept getting drivetrain malfunction. Were you able to figure it out?

Nope. Nada. I didn't end up ordering Stage 2 cuz I never got clarity on this. If you find out how it's done, pleeez post it up. A thousand thanks!

I had some questions along the same line when I did mine. I was very skeptical and nervous when I got to that point. I emailed Burger Tuning and they gave me some pointers.

It is basically the wires at the far right. Below is a pic of the first one I tapped in to. It is confusing because there are others of the same color to the left of it.

Thanks! Do you happen to have a pic of both wires tapped?
