I got the Kenwood all setup and wired in.

I moved the MID to the glove box and when I checked the operation the face was blank, no power whatsoever. I fear that when I chopped the CD harness in the middle I severed more connections than I should have. the wires match up 1-1 but there could have been more integration that I was not aware of.

I see two options moving forward.

A. Remove interior and repair the work that I've done.
B. Move forward and remove more of the BMW system.

Here's quick pick of the microphone, at least something made me happy today.
