Need help from a BMW Wizard.

InnerBlueSkies · 07-03-2019, 04:14 AM

I pulled this panel down and this piece popped out, had a unit attached to it with wires. Was able to place it back but it was a tight fit with wiring. Just need a wizard to tell me what it is. Thanks in advance.

Toward the front would be the "most" loop fiber optic port. if you are so equipped, behind that would be a bluetooth antenna with a single fakra cable.

Most loop. If it’s not connected you won’t get any sound.

Thanks guys, a lot. I pushed it back in. Does this module or device have to stay circular like this? The plastic sheathing moved up a bit and I didn't pay too much attention placing it back. Should I be concerned?

No worries on the sheathing. What it does is completes the fiber optic loop, but provides for a port to plug into the loop for diagnosis purposes.
