"Thing" behind the lights

[Kalevera]

BMW CNET uses a separate antenna, the coax for which runs from the trunk, up the right c pillar, and out under the headliner to (what I remember as being) an inductive mount, fixed on the rear wind screen. The antenna is then glued to the opposite side of the glass.

This car was either prewired for or had installed (and removed) a factory cellular system.

For whatever it's worth, I remember the data cable as terminating with a centronics 25 connector (in the trunk) -- it shouldn't run anywhere near the coax antenna line.


Also, from what I can tell of the pictures, the fitting on the end of the coax is too big to be used on the antenna amplifiers. But it very well could be disconnected.
