    DME Wiring for OBD Access

    I am trying to access my DME via OBD connection and I am running into an issue. I have found some conflicting information about how to access. I am building this car and the electrical harness is all custom as I have the new AIM PDM32.

    My question is- what pin gives data and write access to the DME? Utilizing WDS, I have the following wired to the DME:

    DME
    X60001 Pin 7 +12v
    X60001 Pin 8 +12v
    x60001 Pin 4,5,6 grounded to chassis
    X60004 Pin 26 +12v
    X60004 pin 32 datalink connection

    For the OBD plug I have the following wired:
    Pin 1 +12v
    Pin 4,5 grounded to chassis
    Pin 7 datalink connection to DME x60004 pin 32
    Pin 9- RPM signal to x60004 pin 17
    Pin 16 +12v

    I am getting voltage to the OBD2 pins however using a Schwaben OBD tool it will not turn on. I tried another amazon OBD reader that works on my other e46 and it will show a light as battery power but no DME connection.

    doing some searching on this forum I found a wiring diagram for a bench flash harness for the MSS54. See below.

    Notice that with the bench flash harness, +12v is being applied to Pin 1, 7,8 on X60001. Looking at WDS, x60001 pin 1 is to the fuel injector relay and pin 3 isnt used in a manual car. only in SMG to the TCU however this shows a K line connection directly to the OBD2 Pin 7.

    Can anyone verify the correct wiring to the DME for power and data access from the OBD2 connection? I would appreciate any insight!

    This is something I wrote up for E30 S54 swaps, the only difference for you may be how you pull +12v fuse switched:
