40 pin quadlock connection

[mas123]

Hi,

I have a 2003 X5 with MID radio and a cassette player. Does my car have a 40 pin quadlock connection?

Probably, but you'll need to either know the part number of the radio or just take it out and have a look to be sure.

Hi,

I took out the radio display, but where is the 40 pin quadlock plugged in?

[X5Sport]

Could be in the boot by the battery.

There are a few plugs around the battery area, but how do I know which one it is.

How do you insert a picture , I can then show you the pictues.

In the boot, this is where it is (circled):

Hi,

Thanks for the picture illustration. I don't have that in my boot does that mean the wires going to my cassette player in the front are ones?

hi
i learnt from the maestro himself "sanj" that on mine the quadlock is in the front . follow the leads that directly plug into the units until they meet another plug "quadlock"

Hi,

I followed the wires in the front and there is a plug going to my cassette player. It has two blue strips and four round holes. Is that it?

[phiggystardust]

Follow those two down into the dash it should be where the leads from the head unit and cassette meet

[RichardP]

The quadlock connector plugs directly into the radio, left hand side looking from the front. The radio is located above the MID/IRIS for split systems, or in the boot for Nav systems.

I found it, it was plugged into the cassette player. Does anyone know the wire connections?

40 pin quadlock on the face of the plug:
There is a 12 pin white plug going to it - is that the steering controls?
There is a black plug 12 pin- ?

There is a block of 16 pins which are the speaker wires (8), power supply and remote, but not sure what the other 6 wires are for.

Thanks.
