Unused cables behind glove box?

f1madman · 04-18-2015, 10:49 AM

Hi guys when I bought this car the fuse panel was missing and the following wires/leads were exposed.

I'm wondering what do you think these were used for? I'm hoping I can use them to use after market bluetooth conversion kits maybe?:

There's a white clip at the bottom if you can notice it too.

Tried to link directly to google drive... guess that doesn't work. I've linked the photos from photobucket now, any improvement?

My guess would be something audio related due to the 3.5mm Jack. Maybe a satellite radio kit?

Or HD Radio maybe. Would help to know the radio option you have. I was thinking they might be the electronic glove box door that mine has.

Its a 320d SE from 2006, I think it only has basic radio. There is no bluetooth connectivity (despite buttons on the steering wheel showing a telephone).

They are certainly aftermarket, so is the white plug just poking up behind the glovebox. Follow them back to see where they lead.
