Are these the early nav connections?

I guess the best way to be sure is to strip down the rear seat, rear shelf and passenger seat and find out. Unfortunately time and daylight is in short supply but I'm going to give it a shot.

Remove the rear seat bottom and rear seat squab on the side, quick and easy, gives access to the cable channels

Then you can remove the sill trims and remove those foreign non BMW cables

Doing so is good for the environment, as you will gain better fuel economy...

(I challenge you to calculate the improvement!)

OK Computer had a brainfart while I was uploading. I found a battery backed up Motorola GPS Tracker, a Trimble GPS antenna and a no-label GSM patch antenna. These are connected to the violet and blue FAKRA. I guess they are retrofit since they are not fixed in to OEM cable tiebacks, and are a bit too long.

I think I identified all the cables going through the firewall. I am going to remove the passenger seat, carpet and centre console when I have the new looms ready to lay at the same time.
