I had to mount it at the fuse box. If a fuse blows, I would need to remove the glove box. Here's a picture of when I was working on it (ignore the mess). Do note that some of the wires in the picture are incorrectly setup here if someone's looking for reference

Did you take this picture before you swapped the CAN cable to option 3 (Low Speed CAN connect DVD)? In the photo it looks like the jumper is still connected (B to D) and (A to C) like option 1 suggested. Option 3 seem to suggest you remove D to B and simply do A to B.

Also to clarify, you didn't need to connect the idrive controller with the C connector? I'm pretty sure my setup will be identical but I have the HK sound system.

Thank you!

Picture for reference...

Edit...
This helped clarify but I will report back after I have time to tear apart my car for installation LOL:
