Thanks for all the help guys.
It might take a while to figure out the one in the first pic. The trailer harness is back ordered without a potential ship date. Bummer too, it has a hitch, just no wires :(

As for the cd changer, I have it plugged in. It powers up the cdc, but there is no extra dsp wire to plug in. So no way to output audio.

The part number on the one near the right tail is 8 364 655. I know it's missing the first 4 digits. But they weren't there. There's a 968 153-1 above those numbers. Is it possible these cars come presided for pdc? The two wire is pdc speaker and this one is the pdc module?
The one with 3 pins in a 6 pin connector does not have Ibus. Just a blue/yellow, yellow/red, and a yellow/grey.

Again, thanks for the help and ideas.

the car is probably pre-wired for the PDC - you need to pop the L-shaped battery cover, and see if there are three connectors hanging (taped off) along the long side of the battery - blue, black and white... to get the PDC installed you will need the module, the 8 sensors, the rear harness, the rear speaker, and i don't remember if there were any relays for the PDC...

Your X is an 01 and may not have the six pins connector as the later X for DSP. For DSP in the early X there's a coax cable from the CDC to the DSP power amp. That's how the signal is sent to the power amp.

I thought it might be a coax. I'll have to dig around more. I didn't find one when look yesterday. Only the one going to the amp.
Btw, this car doesn't have nav. Just dsp

Coax is not a part of the wiring harness. It is a cable from the CDC to the amp.

Here's a picture of the cable.

I know the cable. My amp currently has one on it. That mean I need to find the other end?


Edit:
Well,that's a dead end. Followed the wire up into the area just behind the rear door. One coax ended at the antenna array, the other continued up even farther into what looks like another antenna.
To get a better look I'll need to pull the carpeted panel out. That looks like quite the job. It's on there pretty tight.
