Help extra two prong wire from centre console

mjposner · 07-23-2011, 08:04 PM

Pulled rear console out to put in new aluminum center console, and I seemed to have an odd two wire plug that I did not disconnect in addition to the six prong BMW connect wire. Any idea what this is or is it an extra wire?

Thanks

If it's back in the rear console area, might be the wire for the cell phone cradle that BMW sells afternmarket.

If I remember correctly is it white? If so its the switch for the rear center console (where you can store stuff). That plug controls whether the light goes on or off in the storage area. When you put the rear center console back in you will use that plug.

Large cable connector is for BMW Connect. Thought it might be the motion sensor cable, but that still works.
