Goes to the right hand side footwell kick panel. is a junction to the fibre optic signal lines to wake up fibre optic.

It is a common point to COMAND, UHI, VCS, stacker and BOSE.

IT is a common joining block for those devices and represents the copper side of the optical signal.

That is the wakeup line for all the fiber optic connected devices. Just like benzmodz said. If your fiber connected items are ever dead, check the wakeup line, fiber loop, and makesure each device is getting power.

Thank you both for the help, will check it in the morning when I go to the garage. Is the block that has to be connected close to the foot kick panel? are there any more wire connected to this blck or is it a dedicated block solely for this 2 wire 10 pin plug?

....Or it stays unconnected just with the loop clip on it?

still learning slowly...

thank you for your patience
