But before you blow something up:







There is a solid black lead which is actually a coaxial lead, and there is a thinner black wire. You want the thinner black wire, which mimics the turn-on of the HiFi amp and so doesn't shut off until all the doors show closed and are locked and the trunk shows closed (ditto the hood IF you have BMW security), and all that is after a delay. So basically, if you don't go out of your way, this wire will test as having 12V on it most of the time. (I assume you guys are using a voltmeter to test the wire?)

If you have ANY sense at all for wiring, you can tell them apart. If you read this and say, "But how can I tell them apart?", please close the browser window immediately and make an appointment with someone who ought to be doing wiring in a BMW M3 vehicle.
Sorry to bring this old thread back to life.
I have used this thin black wire as remote wire to my amplifiers. It always worked fine til I changed my HU to aftermarket yesterday and this wire has no current.

Does anybody know the fuse number for this wires?

And is there any link b/w after market Fakra connectors and current in this wires (since I have gone for aftermarket fakra connector)?

Thanks.
