Radio head unit replacement

chilibball · 05-13-2016, 06:26 PM

I just remove the old head unit from my e90. On the back of it there was only One pink connector. On my new radio there are two pink connectors. Also behind my radio, was a second pin connector wrapped in Velcro. Does this second connector go in this new pigtail hole?

They are of both the same size and shape. I assume it goes on that connector but I wanted to make sure. Also my e90 is non-nav. I picked up a new head unit to be able to receive satellite radio.

Do you have a pic? I just got one that had two Fakra connectors. One for the antenna and one for Sirius.

Ah! It is Sirius you're correct. That makes sense seeing as it was covered up too. Do you know if I have to play around with the MOST bus now? My e90 has SA693 and my BimmerTech coding kit to activate it comes tomorrow.

Also thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

The antenna one should be blue.

That sounds correct. Once I get it coded in tomorrow I suppose I'll know for sure right?

FM and AM worked flawlessly. So I'll assume I picked the right pigtails. I matched the Adam one to the same connector on my new radio. I'm fairly confident I did it right. I hope!
