CEM location

From CEM to VEM, from LED to lightbulb and more. If you have an electrical problem, like a broken info-centre, search for answers in this category. This is also the place to be when you expect the problem to be of an electrical nature...

Hmm...

Cheers,

On RHD cars it is behind +above the bonnet release catch, meaning its to the left of the glovebox.

To get to the cem you can just pull the plastic bonnet release handle off, then theres one screw which holds the plastic trim on, once removed you can pull the trim off and gain access to the cem (held in place by 2 screws)

I have a funny feeling that the location was changed through the years, though I could be thinking of some other box. What I wrote is definitely correct for CEMIII/later cars.
