Those wires are for the UGDO....(garage door opener)
That little box on the headliner is actually designed to house the factory alarm system's microwave (proximity) sensor. There are pre-wired connectors in the engine bay and trunk for the siren and tilt sensor. As an aside, I'm rather pleased with the setup. The microwave sensor allows me to leave my car armed with the sun roof open, free from worry.

No. The OP is referring to a plug inside the forward panel where the UGDO , sunroof controls, and mic are located; not the motion sensor housing in the center of the roof that you are talking about.
I think that may be the connector for the auto-dimming rearview mirror. Coconutpete would know.
It's bound to be the BMW assist connector, since the option is installed on my vehicle, and the connector wasn't present behind the panel. The only free connector I found just now was the white three-position plug for homelink.
You have BMW SOS Assist!? on your E46?!
Can I see a picture of the type of SOS switch that you have?
I may buy one and wire it up.
does it look like this
or this one?
No. The typical BMW Assist (SOS & Mechanical) buttons on the E46 are on the mirror bottom under the cover flap as appears below.
BMW Assist came on many of the E46s, but why in the world would you want to install the button anyway? Retrofitting the module on a vehicle that does not have would not be trivial and having to pay the annual subscription fee on top of that seems :dunno:![]()
