PictogramsDenotes instructions that draw your attention to special features.

Denotes the end of the instruction or other text.

Installation informationAll pictures show LHD cars; proceed accordingly on RHD cars.

All the figures show the right-hand side of the card. Proceed in exactly the same way on the left-hand side.

Ensure that the cables and/or lines are not kinked or damaged as you install them in the car. Costs incurred as a result of this will not be reimbursed by BMW AG.

Auxiliary cables/lines that you install must be secured with cable ties.

If the specified PIN chambers are already used, bridges, double crimps or twin-lead terminals must be used.

Deburr holes and treat them with anti-corrosive coatings as set out in MINI directives to protect them from corrosion.

7. Installing the illuminated door sill strip

R50, R52 and R53 cars only

Figure A shows the front right A pillar.

Push the protective cover D over the inverter C.Connect branch A1 to the inverter C.

Position the inverter C with the protective sheath D behind the carpet between the base module and earth post.

Then secure the inverter C with a cable tie G to the side of the top section of the main wiring harness.

Route branches A2 and A6 under the carpet into the driver’s footwell.

If there is a socket contact on branch A3, disconnect it.

Connect branch A3 to the base module (A pillar at the front right) X253 (black 54-pin), PIN 7 (brown/yellow cable) using an insulation-piercing connector I.

Figure A shows the front left A pillar.

Connect branch A2 to X10200 (black 12-pin), PIN 4 (1).

If PIN 4 is occupied, cut the plug off branch A2 and connect it to X10200, PIN 4, (red/green cable) using an insulation-piercing connector I.

If there is no fuse in slot 3, insert fuse H.

R56 cars only

If Pin 8 on plug X11007 is already occupied, connect branch A2 to violet/green cable from Pin 8 using insulation piercing

connector I.

Connect branch A2 to PIN 8 of plug X11007.

If there is no fuse in slot 14, insert fuse H.

7. Installing the illuminated door sill strip

Push the protective cover D over the inverter C.Connect branch A1 to the inverter C.

Position the inverter C with the protective sheath D behind the carpet underneath the fuse holder.

Use cable tie G to attach inverter C to the standard wiring harness.

Route branches A3 and A6 under the carpet into the driver’s footwell.

If Pin 35 on plug X14260 is already occupied, connect branch A3 to brown/yellow cable from Pin 35 using insulation

piercing connector I.

Connect branch A3 to PIN 35 of plug X14260.

All cars

Connect branch A4 on the adapter cable A to earth post X151 on the front right door sill.

Drill a 8 mm hole at the point shown on the side skirt fold at the front and drill a hole in the interior in the same place.

a = 750 mmb = 45 mm

Drill only the plastic doorsill with a wider 12 mm hole.

Deburr holes and treat them with anti-corrosive coatings as set out in MINI directives to protect them from corrosion.
