Bluetooth antenna location in e88?

krhodes1 · 12-15-2020, 08:21 PM

I'm doing a Bluetooth retrofit in my e88. There is a lot of great information around these forums, but most of it is for the 3-series. On those, the BT antenna snaps into the panel above the driver's feet. There does not seem to be a spot there on my e88. Anyone know where it is supposed to go?

It's not THAT big of a deal, some people have just used a short cable and left it in the trunk zip-tied to the MULF. But I would like to keep this as factory-correct as I can.

Thanks! So looking at the pictures, same location-ish, but above the panel, not snapped into it? I'll take it off again and have a look up there.
