I performed a retrofit which is requiring me to place the antenna behind the instrumentation. I am trying to determine if this is the location of the factory install or should I be looking for a wire that is ran from the shark fin. My X3 has mobile phone, BMW Assist and Satellite Radio integration from the factory.
Attached is a photo I found on the internet of the underside of the Shark Fin, from what I can tell my car has wires running from each of these connectors but without extensive removal of trim pieces I will not be able to trace them.
Can you provide a photo of the rear of your MK4 with the GPS wire attached?
