Mine is 2011 BMW Z4 35i.
I know the location of OBD port. Where is MOST port located ? Any picture of its location and how it looks like will help.
Thanks !

Google MOST port and you get nothing. So what is it?

cuddapah · 08-24-2017, 03:12 PM

I did google ... some people say it is next to OBD port. Some say it is below the glove compartment. I couldn't find it. So posted here.

What is it ? It is "Media Oriented Systems Transport", used for programming and/or diagnosis.

I was lost for that too when I did the coding of my car...The most is under the part number 3. You have to associate the 2 cable of the most as one as one so you can plug your Icom if it s the goal here.

#3 exists on both driver and passenger ends of the dashboard. I pulled the passenger side for my stereo install, but thought I'd post this photo here as it might help. It simply pulls off with a yank.

Yep you re right Filippo. The MOST is on the driver side

So that's the official name for it? I just find it hard to believe that I couldn't find a single reference to it on the internet (at least as far as Google knows).

Stands for Media Oriented Standard Transport.

Yes it is not on the passenger side - I showed that photo only so folks could see that the plate is a 3-tab pull. It's the same on the driver side.

Thanks everybody! Is this the side panel that needs to be removed ?

Yep. Just pop it off.
