MID/OBC connections

Thank you for this. Are these from the White connector shown in the picture attached?

My system is working fine and the radio reception is very good.

Here is my final mounting solution that is holding up well. The top two screws do not hold the unit securely in the OE frame opening. The weight of the unit cantilevered at the top causes the bottom edge to kick out over time

I forgot to mention the FM signal is good enough, AM signal nothing, very very faint on the strongest stations. Thought of changing out the antenna signal amplifier but not sure if that will affect AM.
Reception was an issue with Original head unit, but I could get a few AM stations.

Sounds like you have an issue with your diversity reception module - its a powered unit in the rear tail gate - checked the trunk fuses?

Looks correct but hard to tell without more connector in the picture. Does that white connector fit the MID and is it as the rear of the car (trunk, left side)?

No BC operation - its re-installing the MID unit in the car to give you the reset and set functions back. You need a factory MID unit for this and you can mount it in the rear AV rack in trunk, left side. The factory NAV unit won't work for this.

You could source a used MID unit from eBay...

That is suppose to be a picture of the white 12 pin plug that goes into the Nav unit in dash.
