Rear Entertainment System Install (RES) OEM
 

I was able to buy a used rear-seat-entertainment system (the one attached to the center console)
I am not able to find any info about the connection inside the center console. I have the RSE BMW info (attached) with detailed connection but nothing how it will be connected to the car? Does anyone know if there is a cable in the back?

Some help would be great! I could not find any cable info on the rear DVD player. It looks like all cables from the monitor end up at the player but how do you connect the player to the car?
Here the link for the player but no reference for the cable:
DVD player. Fits: BMW X Series (E53,E70,E71,E83) X5 3.5d | BMW of South Atlanta

Did you check WDS already, specifically http://wds.spaghetticoder.org/en/svg...5096.svg?m=e70

Thanks Dragon but I was hoping for something not expecting me to have an Master in EE :-) I am not able to read that kind of diagrams.
Do you know if I have to run a ne cable and if so is there a part number?
Thanks !

I don't know what the part number is, or if there is an existing harness that you simply plug into. In all honesty, if you are doing any sort of electrical work, you should understand how to read the WDS. When I did the navigation retro on my E46 M3, it was invaluable.

Dragon,

Thank you again for responding! I know how to read them up to a certain point but I have difficulties with the connection. As a sample,
SP0000025095 - WDS
I would have a hard time to find X15010 and X15009 (K-CAN_L and K-CAN_H) because there is no "connection" where to connect this. Does that make sense??

^^ Totally understand. I'd go into my parts guy at the dealership and have him pull up the wiring schematic to see if there is a harness already there that can accept your RES. If its not there, you might have to retro a harness as well.
