One downside of doing it this way seems to be a bit of a fit issue when putting the HU back in place - it's a lot of wires to squeeze in back there suddently. The other trick (at least for my car with BMW Assist) is that I'll have to move 2 optical wires from the stock harness to the technic harness in order to make the SOS system functional again.
If anyone has advice for how to remove the optical wires from the stock harness and get them secured in Technic's harness that'd be great, not something I've done before.

The two optical cables are inserted into a plastic housing and then that housing is secured in the Quadralock slot by a tab. Pry that tab up carefully with a pick and the housing will just slide out.
Insert that housing in the same slot in the new Quadralock harness and it will lock in place with the same tab. Let me know if any issues.
