look inside your trunk, in the audio compartment. the silver box just behind the left tail light is the Alpine radio/tuner. it's just like a standard in-dash radio receiver, except that the faceplate is detached and connected to the BMW I-Bus. the big wiring harness attached to that is the 17pin connector i'm talking about.

here's the full pinout.

1. LF+
2. RF+
3. LR+
4. Telephone mute
5. Ignition
6. RR+
7. I-Bus
8. LF-
9. Battery
10. GAL - Vehichle speed
11. RF-
12. LR-
13. Dash light dim (N/C i think)
14. RR-
15. P-Gnd
16. Antenna
