    Electric sunshade harness prewired or not?

    I was under impression that E31 comes with all the options prewired into a body harness, I have a electric sunshade I would like to install into my car but could not find the connector for a switch under the center console.
    Anyone has experience on installing the shade on the cars that did not originally come with it? I have a 1993 850ci

    The only wiring for it in the car is tucked against the side panel where the driver's side rear seat backrest is. The wiring you have to purchase is a T-shaped harness you plug in at that location. From there, one end of the new wiring harness goes to the middle console area for the switch, and the other goes to the rear shelf for the motor.

    The wiring harness you need is 61121392587. It is reasonably cheap.

    All straight forward plug and play - I did this on my 1993 years ago, and it was really easy.
