My Ride: e60 530d 270hp remap
Ok I decided to post my problem, it is frustrating me since i took dash,etc apart 3rd time allready.
Area below CD player where DSC button is, has no LCI unit, only empty box with 1 chip connected to DSC button.
So I find out there is 2 different locations of lci unit, so I open glovebox and again, nothing as it is shown in picture LCI-FDC1.jpg in first post.
My car is 2004 e60 530d automatic from EU and it is not pre LCI i guess by the exterior photos i searched, it looks like LCI.
I hope you guys can help me, its frustrating me, maybe im wasting time since probably you guys post pictures from USA models? Im not sure what is the difference tbo, and im sorry if i missed some post, it is alot of pages
Thanks
edit: I guess its pre LCI but my center console switch center only has one DSC connector with 4 pins in that are connected to circuit board that looks pretty simple. Alltho that circuit board looks like it could have 1 more button on it but doesn't, im confused I just read every single page and there is none with same problem. Will look again in glovebox when I get home, since I didn't check left bottom side behind fusebox.

You have a Pre-LCI car. You need to connect the wires to that plug you spoke of on the back of the box with the DSC button. Take a look at post #17 of this thread, 4th image down. You'll want to insert wires into plugs 8 and 10 of that connector, then run them to a "momentary switch" , mount it somewhere and you'll be all set.
Also see my post #59 and ones on the next page(posts 61 and 63) where I show the wires I used, from a PC fan, they worked well with the existing plug in the car

Also I have DTC button not DSC, the one that on press restricts DSC partially and turn DSC off on hold, anyways, I will go make some photos so you guys see what i am talking about.
DTC connector I have is not the same you guys showing, I seems easy job to do, but in is frustrating me that i cant find this connector and my center console is totaly different.
Maybe to mention, my console has only DTC button on it. Will try to get some photos
Cheers

Wierd, specially because I didnt see anyone yet with similar problem. Does FDC get only signal from this X14056 to turn ON inside some other bigger unit all of this cables lead to?
