Lots of confusion recently over the rear fog upgrade which I had installed last week.
I had the full six switch toggle panel installed in my car from new, so I only needed the programming – but most people need to buy the switch panel too, so here are some part numbers!
First – the part numbers are COMPLETE new toggle switch panels, not just a switch.
Second – if you have access to the MINI ETK program, you can look up the part numbers (your MINI parts person should be able to do this):
If you have “DSC” and front fogs, you need 61 31 6 917 993 (9/7/2004: p/n corrected!).
If you have “ASC” and front fogs, you need 61 31 6 917 989.
If you don’t have ASC/DSC but do have front fogs, you need 61 31 6 917 985 (but you will still have a gap where DSC/ASC is missing).
If you don’t have ASC/DSC or front fogs, you might want 61 31 6 917 983 (but then you will have two gaps).
If you worry about gaps – buy one of the two full panels … the extra switches will not harm your MINI.
Beware of switch panels ending 992, 988, 984 or 982 – these are the US spec parts which presumably do not have the rear fog switch!
(edit)
Apparently LOTS of people want to know about rear fogs on our MINIs … web traffic after I posted this info (and links on other web sites) was triple the normal activity!
