Ripped out the my glovebox and just my luck I have the wrong connector for my intravee..I've seen the post regarding swapping the connector with the appropriate fitting but I'm gurenteed to mess that up does anybody know of a connector between the current connector and the intravee? thanks

It really isn't that difficult to do. I managed to find the two connectors (6 pin and 3 pin) in the boot of a BMW at the local scrapyard. They charged me £1!
I spent ages looking for a ready made connector harness as mentioned here - http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/post264562.html
But they were nowhere to be found.....

Yeah I'm having the same issue trying to track connectors down.. thanks for heads up!

The ibus connection fits .. just the audio part I need..

I've got details of how to swap the pins. It's very easy. I bought the two plugs from an X5. All the pins are numbered, just follow the guide.

These are the plugs. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E46-E39-X5-E...Sw8w1X6B4H No7 - 2003 V8 Vogue

Thanks matey.. just ordered there last set ..

Those plugs are readily available on the bay of fleas.. do a search for "CD plugs" BMW, MG, Rover, Range Rover etc

Info here on the correct wire / pin locations http://www.fullfatrr.com/forum/topic26808.html?highlight=10+pin

there were a lot of posts on how to leave X amount of wires in the old plug, I found all the correct positions for all wires  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

That's a great help. Thanks buddy! I presume the other connector I unplugged which actually fits in the ibus connection to the intravee should just be plugged back in and ignored?

Yes I will dig out the pin relocation info when I get back to my home pc No7 - 2003 V8 Vogue

Follow this .......................

Move pin 1 (on 10-pin connector) to pin 4 on 6-pin connector (white/blue)
Move pin 2 to pin 2 on 6-pin connector (white/brown)
Move pin 3 to pin 1 on 3-pin connector (brown)
Pin 4 is not connected
Move pin 5 to pin 3 on 3-pin connector (white/grey/yellow)
Move pin 6 to pin 1 on 6-pin connector (white/red)
Leave pin 7 - not needed (white/brown)
Leave pin 8 - not needed (brown)
Pin 9 is not connected
Move pin 10 to pin 2 on 3-pin connector (red/green) No7 - 2003 V8 Vogue

Yup and there we have it..... earth wires left behind..... if they weren't needed then BMW / LR wouldn't have put them there in the first place and saved a few miles of cable in the process

alistairh, buddy you have the list , and yes you are correct in thinking that you don't need it move the 3 pin wires are they are already present in the connection that unplugs from the 10 pin loom

So to recap, you need to transfer the wires / pins from the 10 pin plug to the 6 pin and use the already wired 3 pin plug that's in the loom  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer... Today I are one!

Thanks my good man.. quite looking forward to this now.. managed to fit b####d 2012 rear leds (eventually) and even managed to rid the units of a permenant half on foggy so this should be a doddle with your list..

I found that the pins came out of the plug easily, the tricky bit is getting the plug inner out of the outer Don't give up, and a selection of small (jewelers) screwdrivers is a big help

Also I'd be inclined to remove the 10 pin wires first... say practice on the 3 wires from the 3 pin plug / socket a few inches up the loom... that way if you cock it up, there's no foul as they aren't required Once you've mastered the removal of the 3 unused connections you'll be in a good place to transfer the pins 1 at a time to the 6 pin plug  Yesterday I couldn't spell Engineer...

Well that's it finally fitted. Quite enjoyed the re-pinning part tbh . It doesn't look too organised in there but I've managed to tuck about 40 foot of cable through the small gaps at the roof of the glove box.
Nearly spat the dummy out at one point when it was all wired up and it wouldn't switch on..I had forgotten to put the fuse back ..thanks again guys for the pointers..

Also very important to use the earths.. tried it without just to see and the TV keeps switching off and on.. keeps grounding and the system doesn't work as it should.. added the earths and it's perfect!
