Yeap. I made special custom cable for myself to convert A10 plug to RCA 
Each RCA jack has + and -. The "-" is the outter metal shield, and the "+" is the inner wire.
A10: Audio+ connects to inner wire of RCA, and Audio- connects to outter wire (the metal contact shield of RCA jack)
Do the same for Video signal. Hope it helps.

Do you have aux input install ? ACM installation requires coding if aux input is not installed per the installation instruction.
Thanks,

I have AUX retrofit before I install ACM myself.

The coding is just for AUX. ACM itself does not need any coding.

Thanks for the info. I will ask dealer to install & code the aux-input before I install the ACM module.

Can you use the AUX-IN in I-Drive menu after ACM installation?
How you can connect an external audio device like MP3 player, after ACM installation? Did you removed the glove box Aux-in socket?
Also, can you use the back seats DVD player independently to its own screen, without the CID occupied by the DVD video output signal?

During installation, those AUX pin input to CCC/MAS-K are taken-off the connector and routed to ACM. Those signals then rerouted back to CCC/MASK.
Whenenever you enable DVD source on ACM, you need to switch to AUX to listen to the sound. When you're not in enable DVD source on ACM, you can still use the AUX input in your glove box. In other words, you don't lose anything.
The answer is 'yes' to your 2nd question.

Thanks master
...what I would do without you? 
As you probably think, I'm almost ready to follow the ACM route. Any difficulties/cons using it Fred?
and one more question please: pressing the menu button once again, after been in the ACM menu, that menu is aborted? What happens with the picture and/or with the sound when you watch a movie and press the menu button for 2 secs again?
