First of all, Hi to everyone.
I'm sorry for my English, I'm writing from Italy.
I've bought a wonderful 530 touring E39 and I'm very satisfied.
Now I'm getting crazy... My seller said me that this car is prewired for TV.
I've a monitor 16:9 on the consolle and navi Mk4 in the rear of the car.
I've bought a TV Tuner Box... but where are cables ?
If the car is prewired, they must be somewhere! Isn't it ?
Is there someone who can help me finding this cables ?
On the unit there are 3 connectors: 1 female white, 1 female blu and 1 with wire black. There are two antenna connectors too...
Where are the other extremity ?
In another forum, a kind person says they must be in the rear of the car near the spare wheel... but I can't find them.

Welcome to our forum and your English is just fine!!
If the European setup is similar to the US models try this: open the trunk and look to the left side where the CD changer is located.....the factory CD changer cable located in the left or right rear corner of the trunk. On occasions you may find the factory cables attached to the factory cd Changer mounting assembly......
Note: I have seen European models without a compartment to open/access the CD changer bay on the left!!!
Thanks for your answer. I've already opened trunk to put an Alpine Mp3's changer. It works very fine!
But there I can't find cables for the tv tuner ! In that site there are only Nav Mk4 and new CD changer. Not else.
Where they can be ?
