R56’s axxess LC-BMRC-01 wiring interface help?

Any one ever installed the LC-BMRC-01 before that mit be able to shed some light on somethings, Just wanted to be able to have the chime & radio ! For the most part it seems pretty straightforward’ untell you get to the part with the yellow wires ! & running it to the battery! Do you tie 3 of the yellow wires together ? Just seems goofy’ why would you, need to tie in a power source’ with a oem plug ?

Not going to do the steering will control seems like a pain in the *** if it needs to be reprogrammed ever time the battery dies !

Anybody have any photos of the wiring harnesses all done up’ I did see that video on YouTube but it never really went into depth with the wiring harness

No reason was given. I'm guessing the wire from the battery is to keep settings saved.

It came out nice and clean. The crossover function really cleaned up the sound for more volume with less distortion. Chicks dig the movies!

Alright cool’ I’ll get to matching up color & start soldering,

Did you get the illumination to work ?

I don’t think I’ll be putting the parking brake sensor and all that stuff together !

Illumination works and I wired the parking brake sensor in case I go with a rear view camera in the future.

This thing says it is not compatible with the factory amplified systems. Does anyone know why? It's not using the car's speakers to make the bongs so why would it matter? The wiring at the back of the head unit is the same regardless of stereo option as far as I know since they all use the same Boost head unit base/hifi/hk.
