I Wanna switch out the stereo in my 2003 330xi but come to find out they use these weird connectors: https://i.imgur.com/Ztd8Pz2.jpg
These connectors are what plug into the factory stereo but I can't find anything that fits. I don't even know what the pinout is for these. So i've been without a stereo for a while because I can't find any details on these connectors or how I can go about getting something that connects to them. Does anyone have any knowledge on this at all?
The image doesn’t show up. Nonetheless, there are adapters available. Try www.crutchfield.com. Also, try Sosche.
The thing is though, the adapters seem to require you to manually attach each wire to the custom adapter, but I don't know what each wire does. The diagram of the corresponding wires don't match what I have.
And sorry, I tried applying the image but it showed up really huge probably because it was high res, so I just included the link.
I checked Crutchfield and they have a wiring harness(i'm guessing that's what it is no?). But even though it says it fits the connector showed in the picture certainly doesn't look like a fit for my connector.
This is the connector given on the site:
And then this is my connector in my car (Not sure why the picture is so huge):
There's no way that will fit. That's why i'm confused, Crutchfield says it fits my car but it can't be. And I cannot find any information on this connector or an adapter that will actually fit.

The connector should connect to the wiring in the car the wires off of the connector connect to the wires that came with your new radio. You probably need a antenna adapter too. Make sure you connect a power wire, like the antenna power to power the amp in the trunk.
