Sport button mod

[Robster68]

Hi guys,as in the title I’m retro fitting the sports button to my 04 so was searching for white connector and I found this red one also,what’s it for?

 

[Robster68]

There’s more

Four for the price of one. Now that's good value and a mystery thrown in for free.

A random guess, but could one or two of those be pre-wired for an auto box?

 

[Robster68]

Auto box possibly,some knowledgeable person will let us know hopefully.Going in now I’ve watched a few YouTube videos on removing centre console and nothing broken yet

It’s the (upright) rear console and compartment door you have to be very careful of. If you break some but not all of the trim clips, it’s not the end of the world but it will really p*ss you off.

Getting this bit off was bad enough doing rear section now

 

[Robster68]

So far so good nothing broken

 

[buzyg]

Someone has dusty shoes. :wink:

 

[enuff_zed]

Would have been simpler to stick a false button on and buy some clogs!

 

[Robster68]

Dusty shoes modifying my garage door for the zconsole drilled out and plastic trim just crumbled think it was broken already and a good opportunity to fix broken white cord

Broken bits

Well, one plug is for the sports button, there is another one for the airbag deactivation, not sure which ones. So thats two. Interested to know what the others are too!

Easiest way to find out is to connect one of your choosing, select sport and accelerate into a wall. If the airbag fails to deploy you have not plugged into the sport button connector.

Hi Robster68,

The switch (S13772) plugs into connector X13778, which should have pin 1 brown & black, pin 2 grey & red, pin 3 black & grey & yellow, pin 4 green & blue & yellow, pin 5 black & red & yellow. Hope this helps.

 

[Robster68]

Sorry Dmike I’m not up on my numbers yet I prefer to keep it simple with colors and switch names
All back together now,waiting for switch

 

[Robster68]

A fiddley day but worth it.

Finally fitted,reading some other posts regarding this mod I was under the impression the red light doesn’t work until you update your vehicle order number to reflect the Dynamic Driving Control Option ($224)update the software for the EPS and DME modules.
Not in my case just plugged in and it works,need to drive it yet before I’m totally happy.

Nice work and I must say a "nice sport" for taking this task on.

Thanks,I guess I’m lucky to have an early car so I can try these mods and thanks to forums like these we know this stuff
