Connector identification

Caffeine Powered · 10-14-2018, 05:34 PM

Yes, I've seen images posted of Bluetooth antennas plugged in. It looks like I don't have that. I would like to identify the connectors so I've numbered them 1-9 for anyone who can help. I doubt they'll work with anything but BMW components.
The third image is presumably the amp.
I don't know why there's a selection in Aux for a telephone if I don't have the components. I find it irritating that there's phone numbers in the stereo but I ability to dial them. A card in the glove box achieves the same thing and doesn't rely on the car power to find it.

They're in the trunk. Where else would they be?

ctuna · 10-14-2018, 08:43 PM

Well the amp is in behind the rear wheel well US driver side and TCU, Mulf and combox
are on the US passenger side behind the rear seat and the
sat module is on the US driver side behind the rear passenger seat. If you have them.

If you run your VIN number through a online BMW vin checker it will tell
you what options your car came with.

07 cars come with pre wiring for modules that are not installed for options such as bluetooth sos (that looks like the connectors in the first picture), Compact Disk cassete player
that looks like the last connector picture.(or sat module)

The big white connector is for the bluetooth module the other
cables are antenna, usb and aux connectors .
The picture where you have three connectors I suspect is
the compact disk player connectors.

Each module must be connected into the Most bus which is the black connector with two optical fibers in each .

I guess what I was wanting was an identification of each of the connectors.
That's why I numbered them in the image.
I doubt I'll be able to do anything with them, but without a wiring diagram it would be nice to have them ID'd.

It looks like I have some prep, but what are the bottom two?

ctuna · 10-17-2018, 08:40 PM

By not taking a wide shot of the area the connectors are in
you are making things difficult because the location in the trunk
has everything to do with what the connectors are.
It you read some of those links it shows you where the modules
in the trunk would be located if you had them .

There is a bit limit on the pictures you can post here so they
have to be in low res format.

I think your statement about being a 12 year old resonates
pretty loud.

I can't figure out if your trying to be helpful and you lack the ability or if your trying to be a jerk.

As I said, they're the only connectors in the trunk.

The entire trunk.

As I asked earlier, where else could the be?

Caffeine Powered · 10-17-2018, 09:28 PM

I drew you a picture of the trunk

Look on page 41 of the above document.
The location on the right is for the TCU or Mulf
The location on the left is for the sat tuner

https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/

do a search for sat tuner or Tcu mulf for your car
in the above link if you want to get down to specific cable functions.

They will be things like antenna's , usb , power , most connectors
if you need to get more specific look for retrofit procedures or threads.

It looks like the first one is from the Mulf or Combox. The amp is located behind the US driver side rear wheel well.
