You probably shouldn't be doing this swap

You're funny, I value Your opinion though.

[328ijunkie]

No seriously. At least the electrical side of things...

I am pretty sure I can figure this out with a little help.

[328ijunkie]

The fact that youre mixing up the C101 and Diag connector and stuff makes it not really seem like it :/
And by the looks of it youve already started cutting stuff you shouldnt.

By the way, it was cut when I got it

Not trying to rip on you man just pointing out that you may be a little outta your area of expertise. You need more than 'a little help'

I know, I'm taking it anyway, no worries, but it's doable projecte, now I know and I can move on to the next order of business, know what I mean.

I wouldn't be too worried if a few wire colors aren't the same as the ETM says. I had a few that were different than they said on my '95 m50 harness. Just make sure the pin number is correct at the x20/c101 end and ring the harness out with a multimeter after you're done and you'll be fine.

Ringing aka continuity testing is the best way to figure out what all the connectors are anyway as far as I'm concerned. Spend some time getting familiar with what goes to what and you'll be way ahead if something goes wrong on first start.

Ok so you posted a picture of the c101

Yes, u-turn, I'm posting pics for references... for the next guy needing pics. I plan on documenting the whole process, trial and error, right or wrong, its a learning process.

Let me join you in the banter...I bet my car will be faster than your car when done...ha
