135i Random disconnected wires

Lmfaoo_jose · 05-14-2021, 02:11 AM

Hi, first time poster so bear with me.

Last month I bought my 135i from a shady dealer in Northern California, the car is in great shape but I noticed that the carpet was missing from the bottom of the trunk and I found a few unconnected wires.

I know with older BMWs (e36,34) they were prewired for things like phone etc.

Is this the case here or were things left unplugged for a reason by the dealer to hide things?

I hope somoene else can help you cause I'm not too familiar with the stuff back there. I think maybe the Bluetooth module goes in that spot? But not all cars had the option installed.

Thats for your Fiber Optic for your radio. The dealer wouldnt have unplugged it to hide something. If anything plugging it in should make your radio work better, unless you have a aftermarket unit. It plugs in under that metal unit you have right there. Heres a picture of mine, but with a Fiber Optic loop on it.

Our cars only ever had built-in bluetooth for calls, not streaming media, as far as I know.
