# BMW F30 Gateway connection guide 

 Here is the guide for connecting the PT\_CAN, PT\_CAN2, power, fan control, and accelerator pedal signals to the Gateway device and ECU. 
 The main connections needed for this modifications are: **A46\*1B**, **X13\*1B**, and **Z8\*3B** connectors. 
 This guide is based on N20/N26 engine and DME. Connections for B46/B48 and B58 may be different. 

 ### PT\_CAN to Gateway Device: 

 - **PT\_CAN\_H**: 

   - **Pin 28 on A46\*1B (Blue/Red wire)** should be connected to **CAN1H (Pin 10 on your Gateway device)**. 

 - **PT\_CAN\_L**: 

   - **Pin 13 on A46\*1B (Red wire)** should be connected to **CAN1L (Pin 23 on your Gateway device)**. 

 ### PT\_CAN2 to Gateway Device: 

 - **PT\_CAN2H**: 

   - **Pin 43 on A46\*1B (White/Yellow wire)** should be connected to **CAN2H (Pin 11 on your Gateway device)**. 

 - **PT\_CAN2L**: 

   - **Pin 44 on A46\*1B (White/Blue wire)** should be connected to **CAN2L (Pin 24 on your Gateway device)**. 

 ### Power and Ignition Connections to Gateway Device: 

 - **KL30 (Battery Power Supply)**: 

   - **Pin 1 on A46\*1B** should be connected to **KL30 IN (Pin 1 on your Gateway device)**. 

 - **KL15 (Ignition Supply)**: 

   - **Pin 22 on A46\*1B** should be connected to **KL15IN (Pin 15 on your Gateway device)**. 

 ### Fan Control Connections: 

 - **Fan Cut-Out Relay**: 

   - **Pin 4 on A46\*1B** is used for the fan cut-out relay and should be controlled by the **ECU**. 

 - **Fan PWM Signal**: 

   - **Pin 18 on A46\*1B** is the fan PWM signal and should also be controlled by the **ECU**. 

 ### Accelerator Pedal Connections: 

 - The **accelerator pedal** should be connected to the **ECU** or to the **analog inputs on the Gateway device** in case you want to send throttle position over the CAN bus. 

 - **5V Supply for Accelerator Pedal**: 

   - **Pins 7 and 24 on A46\*1B** provide the 5V supply for the accelerator pedal. 

 - **Ground for Accelerator Pedal**: 

   - **Pins 11 and 27 on A46\*1B** are the ground connections for the accelerator pedal. 

 - **Signals for Accelerator Pedal**: 

   - **Pins 16 and 21 on A46\*1B** are used for the two signal outputs from the accelerator pedal. 

 ### X13\*1B Connector Connections: 

 - **Pin 1 and Pin 11**: 

   - These pins control the **AC compressor** on the engine. Both components are controlled by the **FEM** (Front Electronic Module), and it is recommended to use the original BMW AC compressor. 

 - **Pin 9**: 

   - This pin controls the **starter**. It is capable of driving a **2JZ starter** and is also controlled by the **FEM**. 

 ### Z8\*3B Connector Connection:  

 - **KL31 (Ground)**: 

   - **Pin 3 on Z8\*3B** should be used as **KL31** for the Gateway device. 

 - **KL15 (Ignition Supply for ECU)**: 

   - **Pin 1 on Z8\*3B** should be used to control the main relay for the standalone ECU. 

 ### Notes: 

 - Ensure that all connections are securely made and wires are properly insulated. 
 - For CAN signals, use twisted pairs to minimize electromagnetic interference, ensuring the integrity of communication between the vehicle and the Gateway device. 
 - Double-check all connections to prevent any miswiring that could damage components or cause malfunction.
