all i did (dint need to unwrap cable, i was at this exact stage your showing with this image) i plugged the bmw connector shown in that image into one of the dension connect heads (comes with the kit) and literary plugged that into the left port on the dension, so the car is going directly into the dension
your now left with the second right hand port on the dension, using one of the extender fiber optic cables that comes with the kit you can plug the cdc into this (by plugging this cable into the orignal bmw cdc connect head)
but u dont have to, i dont need the cdc now so iv left it as car plugged into dension no cdc
but u can have the cdc if needed (tested this as well works great)
the bmw optic connections seam to be the same as dension so you really can do all sorts of set ups and plug shit into shit lol

I wouldn't expect it would draw much current to draw the battery but what do I know?
Haven't the other members reported that everything shuts down?

there really is nothing to screw up i think the worst thing that could happen is you get the power the wrong way round lol, but im pretty sure the dension will be diode protected ne way
rest is optics which u just cant hurt if it aint right it just dont work / wont hurt the system
the setup is basically car > dension
LOL cant go wrong

Excellent picture diagram there. To make it completely Plug-N-Play I ordered these parts from the dealer for the Power divide.
1 x UNIVERSAL SOCKET HOUSING UNCODED 3 POL. 61138377072
1 x UNIVERSAL PIN TERMINAL UNCODED 3 POL. 61136931929
2 x PIN-CONTACT 0,75MM 61130006664
2 x BUSHING CONTACT 0.75MM 61130006663
Total cost= $11.37 tax included.
So the power cable form CDC gets split into two ways (one for the CDC, one for the GW) without cutting or tabbing any wire with the help of these parts. Excellent explanation at bruce_mirands's thread. And for the rest, follow the Dension directions to the wire, can't go wrong.
And don't worry about the power staying of after turning the car off if you use the power from the CDC cable. After the car goes to sleep (in about 15-20 minutes of inactivity after shutting down) it cuts off. I have actually seen this as I was also worried about the power staying on.
