I have a 2005 E87 with Professional CCC navigation and bluetooth. I was going to swap out the roof aerial for a DAB and Fm amplified aerial but found that the OEM roof aerial base has 3 FAKRA connectors as well as the 12v feed to amplify the Fm signal. I wondered if anyone knew what the three connectors are used for and what would happen if they are not connected? There were the following colour connectors:
Black - Fm feed (I know this one )
Turquoise - Is this for phone? Does it just boost mobile phone signal if you were using the old cradles that sit in the arm rest?
Maroon - Is this GPS? (I think official colour is Borbeaux
I took the car for a drive without any of the FAKRA connectors connected and could make phone calls and the sat nav was working, all seemed fine. Can anyone shed some light on what the turquoise and maroon connectors are used for and if I will have any issues if they are not connected to anything. If the turquoise connector is GPS why did the sat nav work without it connected?
Any insight would be appreciated as I can't find much on the internet.
