i dont have a voltmeter to tell me if wires are hot or not does anyone know the colors of any hot wires behind idrive screen. set up is very simple other than this.

I'm sorry but why did you start 3 topics for your install problem?

I replied to one of them with an answer that might help him out...

I finally finished install and got power. I used the wires going into the idrive screen. These wires are located opposite the wires used to go into the navtv module. Their are four wires going into this side are(red/green stripe(+) , brown/black stripe(-), yellow and black). I used the (red/green stripe (+) and spliced it to the red wire leaving the navtv module and used the (brown/blackstripe(-) and spliced it to the black wire leaving the navtv module.
I did not put a in line fuse on the (+) side.
