Hi guys , I just bought a 2003 Z4 and when I try to clean up my new toy then I when to the battery and found a big plug with wires that’s have been cut and connect to each other , but the module or whatever component the plug have to plug in is not there . So with my thoughts is there any module or component is next to the battery ? It’s maybe broken so the bmw tech discard it and try to bypass it ?

Welcome to the forum. Do you have a picture of the connection as is? That would no doubt help others to answer your question.

That is where the amplifier would have been. I assume you have the big speakers behind the seats?
Looks like someone has removed it and possibly fitted another one somewhere?

Could do with being tidier though couldn't it.
Maybe if you can't remove it all then you could use a small plastic box and feed everything inside that?

Will do after I’m done cleaning it up, overall the car is good , just some electrical problems need to sort out, like soft top not working (z4 common failure) side view mirrors adjust are not working (hopefully is the control switch)
