2016 M235i Coding Cable Got Stuck In Plug...

ajh77 · 06-01-2016, 09:35 PM

So I got my cable from ebay...a member that sounds thousands of them. I coded the car just fine...

when I went to remove the cable from the plug in the footwell...I had to pull the cable SO SO hard I almost could not get it to come out of the plug

Has anyone had that issued ?

I did at first as well. I had to wiggle it from side to side (towards the front of the car and to the back) while pulling straight down to eventually get it out. It was only an issue the first couple of times and it is pretty easy to slide off now.

Yeah mine did the same thing. I've only used it once but it looks like It'll loosen up with use.
