The only connector I have in the rear with the flip up lock has only 4 wires that are green, black, yellow and green.

I see no reason the harness on the 9 inch Seicane would be any different they both do the same thing.

In your second photo, the top most connector, where does that blue wire go that’s wrapping around under? Got a better picture of it?

Just ordered the ibus, and the circuit ad fusses ( shipping was 3 time the prices of the item )
Really looking forward to those features.
Crowz does all the functions/codings work, such as auto folding mirrors ?

In my X, all the app features I’ve tried work. If your vehicle isn’t equipped with automatic folding mirrors, then no, that option won’t work.

Off course not.
The thing is, now I have to push a button, to make them fold.
So I figured maybe I could make them fold in when looking the car, and fold out when unlock

It is my understanding that’s exactly what that part of the app will enable. My X doesn’t have folding mirrors so I can’t test it.

Me too.
But it would be nice to know if it actually works the way it’s supposed to
In about a week I know, if I can get it installed

Redliner... I found this on bimmerfest and it might apply to our installation of an aftermarket head unit with DSP and NAV. The difference will be that you will have the 17 Pin harness at your OEM radio unit in the trunk whereas Crowz and I will have the 40 Pin harness. But, this seems like it gives wiring pinouts, what goes where, and what pieces to have to make it work.

HTH

Edit: After reading further into the thread... it seems that solution is hit or miss. I think I am going to buy another JL Audio amp and just ditch DSP... That way I can clear out ALL of the OEM DSP and NAV stuff to sell and earn back some of the equipment cost investment. Plus, ultimately it will sound better ditching the OEM processing.

But fuse 75,76 and 82 i the hatch area is for the radio/Audio system. All is 5amp

Fuses are good. Fuses for radio/audio system for mine are 72 that is 30 amp and a 5 amp fuse in 75. 76 and 82 are not used.

Here's a picture of the blue wire. The red and blue wires go to a factory spice connecting to two red wires that run to the front.

If its set to nav which it is right now it is designed to shut off again when it doesn't see the nav display.

Editing it to think its a mid in place of a nav setup will make it stay on.

Yes I know the 20 seconds is normal. I had the 20 seconds at one time. I don't now. That's why I want to get back to the 20 seconds to use as a baseline for Seicane install.
