But when I compare the wires on this ISO plug I'm afraid that someone messed with it.

the 17 pin BMW connector is to the left side of the centre console sometimes very low down. Follow the wiring from the ISO connector down until it goes under the carpet

Thanks for the repley

****... pictures disappeared...

Anyway, seems there's no BMW plug. Instead of that it have 2 pair of ISO plugs as you can see in the video below. In the Symphony is also a third plug (yellow, green, blue?)... that plug is also twice but not connected.

Removed the glovebox and everything, and still no BMW plug.
Can i fit some ISO sockets at my high line loom? Or should i use this?

Yours being a 2004 model is the reason there is no BMW plug.

You could use the adapter in your link but there is not enough connectors/wires.

You could buy two adapters and make up a complete BMW/ISO adapter.

When I fit mine I cut off the BMW plug and soldered ISO connectors to the Sat Nav loom.

Thank you, that's clear.

Do you have a coulour scheme and pinout of it?
I prefer to use an adaptor because i don't like cutting wires
