Hey bcredliner, sorry this is a little off topic, but I don't post on this forum and I'm having a hard time trying to contact/PM you.

I saw this thread:
http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-foru...ions-pics.html

and all I really want to know is, are parts 61136925611 and 61138380696 mates? That is, do they snap together? Said another way, are they identical to the opposite sides of the pink/purple connectors in this picture? I need an affirmative on this for a project on my 2001 Z3 M Coupe.



Said another way, if 611 fits into one half of that connector and 696 fits into the other, it makes sense that they would fit into each other. I just want to verify if that is true.

Thanks so much,
Scott

611 and 696 connect to the corresponding pink connectors. Male to female

My basic question is, do 611 and 696 attach to one another (assuming you put the right pins in them)? I see in the photo they attach to the connecters already in your car.

My issue is that I have 696 in my car (attached to the bottom of the DSC button). I want to make a Y-Harness that would allow me to connect, say, two DSC buttons (one to be used for another purpose) to some of the wires in that 696 connector. If I disconnect 696 from the DSC button, will 611 mate up/connect to it?

That wasn't basic or simple.

Picture is worth a thousand words.

Would the one end of your harness here clip into the other end?
