E36General discussion and technical help for (E36) 1992-1999 3 series cars. 318, 323, 325, 328.
That is a custom module. You will have to track down the person who designed and or installed it on your car. Another solution is to simply remove the module altogether.
Yeah. Don't just pull it off. Again, if possible, try to track down the installer. From what I have seen on the E36 wiring diagrams, though, there really isn't much they could have done. If you don't feel comfortable cutting and soldering wires blindly, take some pictures of the wires that go into the module an tell us where they come from. I do embedded electronic control engineering for a living, so I may be able to help remotely.
We don't know where it goes to . That is why we need the pictures. Make sure to first document how everything is connected right now, just in case we can't find a solution and you find yourself forced to put everything back to how it is right now.
I aimgine you will at least have to remove the shift boot and perhaps the sunglass holder and the button panel where the aftermarket security module sits. This would all be so that you can see where the wires are going underneath the center console.
