Subject: David...are they suggesting that the wiring harness will already Author: Q : member since February, 2004 : 6711 posts Posted on: 2006-03-06 17:33:35

have the GAL (speed sensor) wire connected on both ends (instead of loose on the one end)?

If not...I was doing more research and found out that we can order a connector from our local BMW dealers (BMW part #61-13-0-007-452) that will allow us to route the GAL wire thru the #10 pin of the #A1 end of the wiring harness (the end that connects to the existing BMW wiring harness). The GAL wire is said to be the only black/white wire in the BMW wire loom...though the Trafic Pro's wire may be a different color...it will either be loose or (hopefully) already routed to the #10 pin.

Purchase this wire connector & solder it to #A3...then the only other wire to route & connect would be the reverse sensor wire.
