Ctek Smartpass and D250SE Connector Plates

[KDJDGrenadier]

My plate isn't offset and there's no issue - can you take a wider shot to illustrate the issue, I can't see what it is at the moment.

The black sheep plate is offset to the left slightly compared to the original mounting holes. In my case lining both CTEK units up meant that the temperature sensor cable is obstructed by the seat riser bracket.

Good job - indeed the after-market plate is slightly offset

Now it makes sense. If i had seen that bracket sooner i would have planned it differently.Thanks for the pic

same here.. nevermind fits well now...

had exactly the same issue, guess there's some difference in seat bracket locations between models. The temp wire of the 250se jams up hard against the seat bracket of my TM wagon and prohibits fitting if using standard bracket dimensions.

Ah, understand now. N1 vs M1 seating - the 70mm difference.

yes... a small trap for the unwary.. or should I say 'early adopter'...

bakepl, when you finished the installation did you have any warning lights etc? I noticed the diff lock switches are flashing and a couple of other random errors such as ESC and ABS disabled. I have not driven yet so hoping they clear.
Answered my own question. Went for a short drive and all cleared. No errors

DCPU did you have any errors after reconnecting the batteries? just noticed the diff light switches are flashing along with ESC ad ABS disabled. I have not driven it yet so hoping they clear. D250SE has a green light pulsing occasionally, no other warnings on the CTEK equipment just green lights.

Yes no prob with mo e and can't imagine the ctek box would cause any more issue than the one already installed... disconnecting the battery however does come up with faults on re-connection that clear....

bakepl, did you install the Black Sheep CTEK plate or fabricate your own?

Made my own according to specs but had to modify due to the seat bracket.. no real issue just something to be aware of if making own.

Question for those who have received their vehicles with the Ctek Smartpass installed. To connect the Smartpass to the D250SE, 'connector plates' are used and these normally come in the box with the Smartpass device. Do these 'connector plates' come supplied with the vehicle on delivery?

No that that found - and not with the 250SE either
