[QUOTE="525i, post: 436917, member: 103"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]Not sure about your car which I understand is in UK but in mine, there was no wire harness from the boot to the centre console except for the wires to connect the cd changer. That’s because the Malaysia models of E39 comes with a pathetic cassette player and the cd player only.
