Looks like the 3 pin GPS plug won't go into 2 pin horn socket, plus the shape of the plug/socket is different.
This one might fit.

Apologies - I hadn't read the whole post. I saw the 3 pin plug from eBay, and thought it would be the same as the 3 pin GPS one I got recently.

I think the answer is that the 3 pin plug from ebay (£10) is the same as the 3 pin GPS (BMW plug), neither will fit the 2 pin horn socket.Sullivj wrote:I saw the 3 pin plug from eBay, and thought it would be the same as the 3 pin GPS one I got recently.

Surely not, 3 pages of advice and you bought one that is for the GPS plug.
