no, no... not the safety terminal on the (+) endo of the battery... it is a device, aftermarket, that installs onto the battery (don't remember, (+) or (-)) and it will cut off the battery completely if the charge level drops below a specified threshhold. the device is connected to the battery, and somehow "gates" the juice flow, and when there is a legitimate demand for the power, such as lights come on, or the modules are awaken, it opens up the full battery potential... i can't remember the name of the widget, or any other keywords, but it was kind of a smart cut off switch...

Would be great to have. My subwoofer cable is routed directly from the battery with a fuse link in the cable. Is there any reason we couldn't something like that?

A generic (non-BMW) disconnect would be easy enough to whip up....and the disconnect switches are widely available as well. That being said though, it would be nice to have everything all ready to mount and cut-to-length (if that turns out to be the case with the OP's unit).

Factory type would be great but I wouldn't mount it in sight or to the cover over spare. I would have it accessible above the cover but not attached to it unless the cover was slotted so I could easily detach if I wanted to get the cover out.

I think I would rather take the spare out than set off an air bag every time i want to disconnect the battery but can't be sure unless I try it--where can I get it?

I want in on this quick disconnect. So cool, and so necessary for us DIYers.
