This way you don't have to route another cable all over BUT if you already are doing the Ethernet wire from atm to head unit, your method works perfectly. Also for those who are hesitant to solder the dc-dc converter for the display, I found a really nice one on mouser that works flawlessly and is very stable: https://www.mouser.com/ProductDetail...2Jj6d99w%3D%3D |
There is also a guy in the UK who makes ATM harnesses:

I have never purchased one so I can not vouch for the quality but they seem reasonably priced.
I looked into purchasing the OEM GPS cable from a 18 440i coupe for a more OEM retrofit but I thought that the extension cable would be easier to remove from the car when I sell it in five years or so.
I perfectly hardwired the evo in my F10 and I was cursing up a store when I needed to remove it when the engine popped.
