Re: E30 Stereo Wiring

["Ron Buchalski" <rbuchals@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

FWIW,

I had a stereo system professionally installed in my E30 318i, and they 
installed the separate tweeters on the doors (plastic triangles).  They ran 
the wires from the tweeters into the door, and into the wiring harness, 
through the connector and through the mating body connector, and on to the 
stereo.  In other words, they did not add pins and sockets to the door-body 
wiring connectors.  It did not inhibit the removal of the connector to clean 
the connector pins and sockets in the future (and we all know that it's a 
requirement to keep the pins clean in order to keep those windows and door 
locks working properly...).

Hope this helps,
