[QUOTE="525i, post: 436918, member: 103"] [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma]As for the splicing, I found out later that they now make connectors adaptors that match the old and new connectors. So no need to splice. In my case I did a simple peeling of the original wire and then splicing the new wires from the harness to this. Then covered with electrical tape. All this done behind the video screen. I did not encounter any electrical gremlins but did blow a few fuses before getting it to work. It took me about 2-3 days of work to get it all up and running.
