    The last one is an after market connector someone put in for something like a bass box. I used to have one in my BMW for the same thing.

    Thanks Yel Cab. I have no sound system in the car right now, so I'll tuck that one away.

    I'm surprised no one has any comments on the other connectors?

    I don't think that last one is from an audio system. It comes out of the bundle of wires from the first connectors shown, and I just found the driver side one but it has the end cut off. So the long double green wire is both left and right side. Did the OEM seats if not power have something running to them, for seat belt maybe?

    I'm surprised no one has info on any of these 3 connectors?

    I pretty sure that those wires are part of the Passive Seatbelt System. However, looking at mine it appears to be a connection to the seat belt ratchet.

    Although my mouse motor system is disabled I have two shoulder belt connectors as well.

    One on the seat itself and the other to the passive belt track.

    I haven't compared this to other 348s so I assume all are the same. ;)

    Wade, I just got some OEM seats, but it do not have the shoulder belt latch on the seat itself (can I get these?) just the one on the track. The seat trim piece has a space where these could be fitted and I feel like that would be a more solid choice compared to the flemsy track.

    On your passenger side, what does that wire run to? Maybe for a seatbelt warning?

    Are the two larger white square connectors all for the seat belt track system?

    Last, that small connector with the black plastic anyone have any clues?

    Tex, you nailed it-- the black connector with the single wire goes to the handbrake warning light switch, which is indeed the round hole just behind the handbrake pivot in your pic. I can't tell you any more because the handbrake surround in my car is loose, but not removed, meaning I can see it but not much more. Just decided to check mine since I happened to be with the car when I saw your post...

    HTH,
