Engineered for BMW Audio System Upgrades

The TS30230-16P-21-2 is optimized for compatibility with BMW vehicles utilizing the 1-929463-1 connector interface. This makes it an ideal choice for replacing damaged factory connectors or building custom harnesses for high-end aftermarket head units. Its black housing blends seamlessly with original BMW wiring looms, maintaining a factory-clean appearance. Whether you're upgrading to a modern touchscreen interface, adding Apple CarPlay, or integrating a premium sound system, this connector ensures full signal compatibility and reliable performance across all vehicle functions.

Robust Construction for Long-Term Reliability

Automotive environments demand components that can endure constant vibration, temperature extremes, and exposure to moisture and chemicals. The TS30230-16P-21-2 meets these challenges with a housing made from either PBT+GF15% or PA66+GF30%—both high-strength, glass-reinforced thermoplastics known for excellent heat resistance, dimensional stability, and flame retardancy. The black color is molded-in, not painted, preventing chipping or fading over time. This ensures the connector maintains its appearance and structural integrity throughout the vehicle’s lifespan.

Mat-Seal Technology for Superior Environmental Protection

Each terminal cavity is equipped with a precision rubber seal that activates upon wire insertion, forming a watertight barrier against moisture, dust, and contaminants. This mat-seal design is critical for preventing corrosion and electrical shorts, especially in areas prone to humidity, such as under dashboards or near door seals. Unused positions remain sealed by default, and optional cavity plugs are available for customized configurations. This level of protection is essential for maintaining signal clarity and system reliability in both daily drivers and high-performance vehicles.

Plug-and-Play Installation Without Wire Modification

One of the biggest advantages of the TS30230-16P-21-2 is its ability to enable non-destructive installations. Instead of cutting factory wires, installers can simply unplug the original connector and insert this female housing into a custom or replacement harness. This preserves the vehicle’s original wiring, simplifies future upgrades, and maintains resale value. It also reduces installation time and minimizes the risk of errors during stereo replacement, making it a preferred choice for professional audio shops and DIY enthusiasts alike.

Precision Terminals for Optimal Electrical Performance

The internal contacts are crafted from high-conductivity copper alloy, brass, or phosphor bronze—materials selected for their excellent signal transmission, corrosion resistance, and mechanical durability. These terminals are precision-formed to ensure consistent contact pressure and low resistance, minimizing signal loss and ensuring high-fidelity audio output. Whether transmitting power, analog audio, or digital CAN signals, the TS30230-16P-21-2 delivers stable, interference-free performance.

Versatile Applications Beyond BMW Stereos

While ideal for BMW audio upgrades, this connector is also suitable for a wide range of applications:

• Custom wire harnesses for vehicle diagnostics and control modules

• Marine infotainment systems in yachts and boats

• UTV and off-road vehicle electronics

• Factory extension adapters for service and repair

• OEM integration in automotive manufacturing

Its modular design and compatibility with standard crimping tools make it adaptable to various wiring projects.
