BMW E46 CD Changer Connectors in Trunk

**iepaul** · 08-02-2011, 06:53 AM

My E46 has the cabling in the trunk for a cd changer. I am building my own interface and wanted to use these connections for my ibus and audio connections. I understand these are tyco connections but I am not sure of the part numbers. Has anybody ordered connectors for these, either directly from BMW or Tyco, could they tell me the part numbers they used?

Here are the Tyco part numbers I eventually ordered if anybody else is interested.

1379118-1 is the plug for the 6 pin connector that carries the audio.
1-968700-1 is the plug for the 3 pin connector that carried the ibus.
1-928918-1 are the pins, you will need 9 of these.

I am trying to build an AUDIO AUX IN interface. Can you share the allocation of the pins, please. Also, do we need to use the power input so that the Head Unit recognizes something connected in the trunk as the CD changer?

Thanks.
