Guys i found these connectors when sticking in my stereo and changing the fuse for cigarette lighter.

The extra iso blocks dont seem to power anything and the little connector i found neatly taped up and tucked in out of view.
it has AMP BMW wrote on it.

Any idea what these are for? Thanks guys
Cant seem to post a pic off them?

i had that on my ztt .however if you trace the unused iso connectors back you will most likely find they are not connected to anything.they are the other end of a lead which goes to where your is now plugged in

Our cars are wired for two different versions of factory stereo.

For the highline stereo, there's a set of ISOs that goes to the boot, since the highline unit is like a headunit "in the boot".

For non-HL and aftermarket installs, the ISOs are unplugged from the "boot" connection and used "direct".
