hey guys, I just bought a used 2007 BMW 550i and still getting familiar with it. I noticed there is this battery cable that is sticking out from under the right rear passenger seat. I have no idea where it goes and why its just sticking out. Does anyone know what it should go, what I should do with it, and more info? Pictures should be attached.
Thanks!

I have the same thing sticking out. I think the dealer plugs into it when you service it. I just tuck mine away.

I think that's were BMW hooks up a little battery when your car is ship. When BMW Ships There cars the battery in the trunk isn't hook up. I can be wrong, but that's what's I remember reading.

Batterieha......... What is the full word on the label?

OK.. it is battriehauptshalter, which is the battery main switch
It is found on export card to kill the minus of the battery during transportation overseas.

Just nicely cover it up.. it servers no other purpose
