Ok. I'm having issues with the MS43 DME Unit so I thought (as I can't find this information on the forum already) I'd crunch a guide to help everyone out. Hopefully this'll stop you struggling around the web like me to get this information.
Most of the info is for the MS43 but may be applicable to other DME units
It's got the BMW standardised connections A6000 up the side as shown here

Thanks go to BMW of South Atlanta for the DME image, BMW 2001 Z3 MS43 Electrical Troubleshooting manual for the pins (seems to be the same as I can see) and spaghetticoder for the connector images.
REMEMBER Your DME is not a
toy. You can :censor: :censor: :censor: :censor: it completely with minimal effort. You (I assume) are an adult (or at least adult enough to make your own decisions and live with your own mistakes. I make no promises about the validity of the data here, but it should be used as a 'guide'. If you can tap into the wire you need elsewhere, you might want to do it...
