MRS III Control Module

The control module is mounted in the center console area on the driveshaft tunnel below the center storage box. The X5 will use the TEMIC system that can be recognized by the green 50 pin connector on the module.

The control module contains the processing electronics (Smart Technology) for triggering of all air bags and pyrotechnic devices installed in the vehicle. Two electronic deceleration sensors are installed in the module for crash or impact detection.
