This reminds me to ask if anyone else has had their laser detector go off when a digital camera is turned on. When I turn on my (Toshiba PDR M4) digital camera in the car my (V1) radar/laser detector goes off. It took me a while before I figured this out. A while back I was speeding to get a photo of a 90's Honda Accord with BMW Roundels and ///M badges front and rear (I knew some friends would get a big laugh) and hit the brakes as soon as the V1 laser alarm came on.

Neil, You can't remove the ends of the wires, and reattach them. You can cut one off and replace it. The ends are available from BMW, and probably elsewhere. Or, you can buy just the number 6 wire, with the pickup already on it. Or, you can leave it off. Car doesn't need it to run, performance may drop 1/10th of 1% - --------------------------- Now offering BMW special tool rental and pay per incident tech help. - --------------------------- Brett Anderson www.koalamotorsport.com Home of the E30 M3 CD-ROM repair manual > From: Neil Deshpande <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [uuc] Inductive Pickup Install? > > I need to install a new inductive pickup onto a spark > plug wire.
