C101 and E36 harness plug n play adapter

[amcink]

I need more guidance on attempting to make a plug n play connector instead of cutting my e36 harness and pin all the cables on a new male C101 to connect to my female (body side) C101.

My plan is to get an e36 harness female and a c101 male and make a plug n play adapter to pin the proper cables and connect accordingly and not mess with the e36 harness.

It might sound confusing. Please give some advice if this could be a good route or just forget about it and work with the e36 harness and connect the C101 male to it.

That is what i want but want to do it myself. I know i can get the plugs from the yard but was trying to see if there is a DIY. I want to save some money

Chk the AKG adapter pin out carefully. there have been comments about it being incorrect.
this is not a AKG bash -- I have lots of AKG product on my car. engine mounts, bushings etc

Also info I saved from others
Okay, the fuel pump problem is easy. AKG have got the pins wrong on their chart.
They have got E30 pin 6 going to E36 pin 13. You should have E30 pin 13 going to E36 pin 13.
E36 pin 13 is a 12v signal coming from the E36 fuel pump relay. This passes through pin 13, and needs to go to E30 fuse 11, and then off down to the pump
.
AKG have got a 12v signal coming from the E36 fuel pump relay and connecting to E30 pin 6. This is a 12v signal from fuse 9 that would normally drive the O2 sensor relay. They basically have 12v connecting to 12v coming the other way.

I also noticed they don't have any connection for the Rev counter. You need to have E30 pin 9 connected to E36 pin 20.

If you want the Unloader relay circuit to operate correctly, you also need to connect E30 pin 15 to E36 pin 15.

What I'm looking for is a wiring diagram to make the adapter. I was thinking of cutting each "sockets" with like 2 feet of cable from an M20 and M50 harness and connected per the diagram

I know the presences of the manuals. I guess I was hoping that there was a DIY out there.
Thanks

The wiring really is easy. Just go to the yard, cut an engine side c101, completely de-pin it. Cut the X20 off, crimp new pins on from the dealer to the wires you will be using, insert into C101, voila, clean, oem looking harness. The AKG adapter just adds clutter and length to everything.

^^^^ thats almost exactly what I am doing. I bought a brand new C101 and new pins (~$40 for everything)

Can you put photos and a list of items you bought
