He got back to me, thinks it should have the corrected wiring but offered to take it back for inspection and ship another at his cost. Great support
When I get a chance to open the trunk/trim back up, I can take a closer look and splice if needed I suppose. |

I bought one of these harnesses (plus a Bimmertech amp) back in February, but have shamefully failed to find the time to install any of it yet. I checked my harness, and it looked the same as in the most recent pictures(by mdputnam ) so I swapped the pins (white wire now next to red wire) which took all of 30 seconds once I'd found my smallest screwdriver. If I wasn't supposed to be working-from-home I'd almost be inspired enough to go out and install the whole shebang now. But it must wait. Again.

HELP... how to remove plate around trunk latch?
I decided to finally have a go at installing my amp and harness. I followed these instructions, and it was easy, but for the life of me I can't see how to remove the plastic plate around the trunk latch. This bit...
I have removed the four push clips, and there doesn't seem to be anything else holding it down. There are two big Torx bolts under two shaped clip-on panels on the plate either side of the trunk latch hole, but I'm pretty sure they're just what's holding the latch to the body. Do you have to actually pull the rubber seal all the way off? I can fold it back enough to get the side of the trunk liner out, and enough to see that the top edge of the plastic plate is clear, but the plate still won't come out. Is there some other clip mechanism holding it to the body that I just have to pull it away from? I didn't want to pull any harder in case I broke it, and I didn't want to pull the rubber all the way off if I didn't have to, in case it didn't go back on properly (it seems to be still attached in the pics).

Never mind. I managed to fold back (or rather, under) enough of the rubber seal that goes across the top of the plate, to allow me to pull it off. I didn't try to pull the rubber seal all the way off, as it seems very tightly bound to the metalwork. The two downward-facing pegs on the plate (which presumably was what was holding on) are a little bent, but I think they'll survive. That side of the trunk liner then just lifts right out, for full access. Of course, the test will be putting it all back together, but at least it's drivable without if that has to wait.

Meanwhile, I have amp install problems, which I might PM you about, as I'd prefer to give Bimmertech a chance to respond before I go raging here. |

If you just got it, it fixed.
Best way to know is to plug it in and play some bass.

It must have taken less than 30 minutes for me to install the harness, and I don't often take parts of cars apart.
Super easy. For people who don't want to mess with their car's 'coding,' or don't have the cable or whatever, it's super easy to snap the harness on. There's no learning required. |

It's a little harder on the convertible but still under 45 mins. Just be sure to check and make sure everything works before closing it all up.
