: Hi,

: While taking a look at the amplifier in the back of the car I noticed that there is a DB-25 serial connector attached to some wire. Is this a connector for the BMW cell phone, or is it the interface the dealer uses to program definable options in the car? Would it be accessable via a 9600 serial connection, or does BMW have proprietary software?

: Any feedback appreciated.

: Cheers,

As per your guess it is for the Cell Phone.

All programing of various systems in the car is via the diagnostic connector in the engine compartment - only access is via the DIS system.
