OK Never mind what this is but where does it fit/clip. It cant be loose behind the glovebox like that. Looking at the side or it is seems to be able to snap into something that has broken off so now the place where it attached has come away with the part and thats hanging. If there is a picture that someone can post or find here that shows the glovebox after it has been removed maybe I'll get a clue from that. The closest I got was from Hobi's Custom audio installation but in that picture the third wire is hidden on the side of the glovebox.

Will try and look to see where this can be connector.
? still unanswered.
2. Where are the rear cigar sockets lights connected to. I don't want to connect them directly to the 12v because it will be on all the time and also won't dim with the other interior lights.

I have the same connector. But mine is not loose. I actually found it under the cover in the ceiling of a glove box. The cover is flat and you cannot see it unless you stand on your knees and look at the ceiling from below. The lock for the cover looks like those on remote controls - you press the lock and the cover opens down.
I would really like to find what it is. As my dealership offers IPOD connector installed for $550. I have CD-changer but it is so inconvenient to use. I have to guess where it is when sliding cartridge back into the changer.
Unfortunately I coudn't fins any IPOD adaptor for E64 on ebay or elsewhere.

Thanks for this. One question when you refer to ceiling of the glove box are you referring to the ceiling of the space where the glovebox goes or the glovebox itself. i.e. is this window in the glovebox top where the light is located? Can you attach a photo?
