I have a 2004 545i that was in a house fire and I have ripped all the coaxial cables out in the rear 7 total, bmw no longer sells them or the connectors and cable separate so that I could fab. my own? this is all I need to replace and then I can see if my audio controller is bad or not?

the coaxial cables have gebauer and griller on them I have even contacted them in Amsterdam with no response? surely someone sells a repair kit?

anyone?

You can buy all cables from BMW. You just need to find out the right part numbers. Not the cheapest way to go about it though.
As far as I recall audio controller (if what you call amplifier ) use no coax cables. Can you post part number from the controller? I suspect it's the TCU that is responsible for Bluetooth and BMW Assist service.

you are correct the TCU has most of the coaxial cables connected to it, I can't remember if any (maybe 1 or 2) connect to the amplifier? either way I never plan on using Bluetooth or bmw service, so I don't need to replace those cables, but if I could find them I would put them in while I have the rear interior of the car torn apart.

I found part numbers on realoem.com but no dealer has responded with prices as of yet. they all say none of them are available? and they say the factory made cables with connectors on the ends are obsolete already? that's why I have asked on here for help i'm sure someone has a connection or knows where a car is in a salvage yard that someone cans get the cables for me and I will buy them.

I hate to buy through bmw parts but I even tried my local dealer and he said no way to get them?
