What these wires for?

Rotary Rasp · 01-02-2009, 01:03 PM

Does anyone know what these wires are for in the trunk? The wire that I'm holding on the 3rd picture has a constant 12volts. Does anyone know where the fuse for it is located, I've pulled every fuse behind the glove box and didn't find it.

Thanks!

CD changer option i think. That looks similar to what i had to connect my GFs ipod DICE controller to on her 01 330xi

What vehicle is this in? Is the wire hot even when the car is asleep?

Yes, it's hot all the time. I need to find the fuse for it because I mistakenly grounded it out.

Odd location for a cd changer; however, there is a unused fiber cable next to it. So it may be for a changer.

It looks the like oem cd changer mounts behind the rear drivers wheel. So that can't be what there wires are for.

That's the Satellite Radio pre-wiring. The CD Changer pre-wiring is located in the left side of the trunk, close to the OEM amp.

That explains the fiber and the mmcx connector on the coax cable.

Behind the glovebox. Are you looking for a remote wire?

No, I'm trying to find a power source to make a hard drive booster so I can use a laptop hard drive with the 6FL option.

I'm search the fuse panel hi and low behind the glove box.... I found zero blown fuses.

Found the fuse! It's number 18.
