I decided to go for more serious way, and not only install OBC but also connect the Check Control (CC) function (module). Which shows the following warning about the car's faults :
Brake lamp electrical system
defective brake lamps
A defective brake lamp
Low beams defective
Backup defective lamps
License Plate Lamp
Washer Fluid Low Check Control Inactive
Check coolant level
Knowing that the penalty for defective bulb is high, as well as the window washer fluid is always ending untimely :), I think, it is very useful reports.
I couldn't find CC installation schemes on the Internet, so i looking for answers in the common schemes of the car ... So i will try to tell you how to put to OBC CHECK CONTROL function and how this has been for me.
Recall that the OBC with the CC can be installed regardless of what the clock is now installed. I can also say that you can install only the OBC without CC function.
The required parts
First OBC (in my opinion from all E36 models and years are the same)
Third: Turn indikatorwith OBC button ( may vary depending on wire connectors from the air bag type, but it could be reworked easily).
4th Brake light switch with four contacts. (Which is usually 2-pin)
6th Window washer fluid level sensor with a rubber seal (picture is not visible).
7th Check control module. (According to me, since for all E36 models are the same)
If you do not want to install the CC, just OBS but you don't need 4-7 parts. It must be remembered that the necessary connections between all these parts to be connected with wires. It should also be in mind that in some connections there are not metal contacts (pins), so it should be to purchase additional connectors, which make it possible to take out contacts.!
Scheme
I draw the scheme, which iused instaling OBC and CC to your BMW. Scheme are based on the manufacturer's general car schemes wtich are called ETM and can easily find them on internet. I also suggest examine, becouse such as some of the cables can be connected to the electronic climate control installed immediately above the OBC. In this way, will not need to lead wires to the fuse, "minus", or lighting device controller. However, cars designs are different, so i show wire connescting "source". (Except diagnostic cables, they showed that you can connect it to the instrument cluster, so do not lead to the diagnostic connector under the hood)
I can say that the X1074 connector the CCM 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 14 no need to be connected, because the CCM module doesn't chek this connections (central brake lamp, two rear position lights (next two connections necessary), the trailer lights).
Gong (Audible signal ( Second Figure )) Is installed in the trim plate in the hole near pedals.

First depicted. Brake light switch
Brake light switch, changing if necessary (depending on configuration). As is the case shown in the first depicted. In short, the switch should be removed in order to attract a strong red detail. Pulling can also pull out some key itself.
Turn indicator could be changed easily by replacing the plastic trim around the steering wheel.

Check control module can be mounted at its discretion, somewhere under the steering wheel closer to the wall.
Rear lights
Tail lights
E36 model sedan'e and coupe has four tail lights. Touring model has two.
Sedan, coupe:
In simple wiring harness without CC for each lamp comes one wire and it is sharing to in both bulbs in lamp. In the CC wiring harness to each lamp comes two wires. Therefore, tail lights, each slightly different and should be revised. How to do it, I can not say exactly, because in have touring model, but I think it's really easy to do. It does need to lead two additional wires and lamp redesign.
Touring:
In any type of wiring harness for each lamp is only one overall overall light and lead wires is required. Simply X1074 wires 4 and 6, left not connected. However, the lights can be converted so that you can have four tail lights on the back, just need to solder contacts, additional contacts, light bulbs, and connectors. In general terms it can be done as shown in 5-7. Figure.

Brake light
In wiring harness with out CC to the rear lapms comes one brake light wire. When the wire sharing to another lamp lamp. Instaling the CC should lead an additional wire.
This and that ...

By the way dashboard removable without removing the wheel. Panel to be shifted toward the steering wheel and steering wheel together with the panel clockwise to pull it out. Tip: put the cloth on turn indicator to prevent scratching of glass panel.
10. figure. Cooling and window washer fluid level sensor wiring isolation.
10th Figure. shows that the black wire wrapped isolated in practice no different from the original installation.
I would suggest first of all put the OBC and then the CC module. So if you have persistence, patience, friendship with a soldering iron and multimeter, you will succeed.

PPS This is my first as an article, so happy to receive questions, tips or story, how you managed to
put the OBC's .

UPDATED (2012-08-24):
Coding and fuel consumption
After OBC installation, I knew that there may be inaccurately displayed average fuel consumption. That's what happened to me. Fuel consumption average was displayed ~ 4 l/100 km too high than it really is. Using the secret OBC functions I've tried to adjust the calculation coefficient, but its limits are only + / - 25%. Therefore, I have managed, fuel consumtion was about 1 100 km higher than should be. I found conflicting information on the internet about the use of OBC's 11 secret function Einheit Einheit 1 or 2, changing hexadecimal code values can be set proper fuel cost calculation. Unfortunately changing the values, fuel consumption has not changed ... Obviously, I bought the OBC was not in the car with the engine m51d25.Maybe it was the engine with 4 cylinders ... I do not know ..
I found out that the consuptions inaccuracy occurs because of incorrect processing incoming data. This happens because in the memory of the OBC fuel consumtion value assigned to a particular engine. And these values can not be changed without the help of a computer. Possible values are changing OBC settings (coding) to provide Figure 11. We can see that the line STEIGUNG_EINSPRITZ_KENNL describes the motor used. That changed this setting, changes in fuel consumption display.
11.figure. OBC coding values.
For the proper functioning of the OBC need it coded (configured). Some of the changes (check control function activation, units of measurement change, language change) can be done using the secret OBC functions. (For this next post'e). However,after reset or after disconnecting the battery should not change the configurations again, it should be coded using a computer with the right software.
I've used the NCS-Expert (13.figure.) From EDIABAS programs packet. I also think you can use BMW DIS V44 and SSS Progman. I also used the ADS interface'o (Interface) cable that I bought from ebay.com for $ 90 (12.figure.).
12.figure. ADS interface cable.
13.pav. NCS program to the expert. Selected OBC.
My workflow is as follows:
Scanned coding key (ZCS) from EWS unit.
Changed coding key part SA including OBC and CC functions
Added new ZCS to EWS and KMB units.
Scanned coding key (ZCS) from EWS unit.
Changed coding key part SA including OBC and CC functions
Added new ZCS to EWS and KMB units.
Coded all units using the new ZCS.
Well, things have finally started to operate as they should. !!
PS Sorry for grammatical or other errors.
PPS I am pleased to receive questions, advice or telling me how you were able to put the OBC comments.
