What are these blue connectors for???

Post by touring_style » Tue Apr 07, 2015 8:30 pm

While fitting a towbar over the weekend I found a blue connector in the boot storage spaces by the left and right outer rear lights. One on each side.

Does anyone know what they're for???

Could be for the electrically adjustable rear seat rake option if memory serves.  Raj would know for sure as he added that function.

It was a very cool option to have on the E53.

My guess is that it is for the Subwoofer for the posh sound system

Sub only on the right isn't it?  Didn't have it in mine hence asking.

EDIT - found it in this thread.  Rear seat electric adjust.
