While I’m waiting to finish tackling the electrical gremlins on this car I decided to take inventory of what the previous owner felt I no longer needed to have intact in the car…

I have managed to piece every piece I’m missing back so far with the exception of the center console armrest and a mysterious plug that’s been cut under the MMI control panel

Can anyone tell me what parts I am missing under the arm rest? I can’t seem to place them anywhere in the car

as well as what the wiring that runs up the middle of the center console from the rear connects to so I can get the appropriate plug end

I know the wiring picture may not be the best quality but it’s a hot wire a ground wire and a blue and white wire

Possibly heated rear seat or the cigarette lighter for the rear seat.

Heated rear seats run along the passenger side then back to the rear controls. (the wires in the pic are not those)

Depends on the options the car had. These wires could be for the 12 V power outlet in the rear of the center console and also to power the LEDs in the vent controls for the rear.

Brown is a Ground wire. Red or Red with Black are Positive wires

they run from the back forward but I can’t seem to find another end for them, it is a constant 12v wire, I discovered that with my light tester as I knew brown was ground, I’m still unsure what the tiny gauge blue/white striped wire is to as all the rear outlets seem to have power, but then again I haven’t really investigated close as I’m still having some bigger electrical issues with the car

Sounds like the power to LED that light up the buttons. Put a meter on it, or your light, then turn on and off the headlights?

I haven’t been near the car as it’s in my friends garage but I will try that these ideas thanks!

I believe it may also tie into the phone module but I’m not sure till I get my replacement armrest parts in next week!
