I found some more time to install the Mobridge DA1.
First step was to rip apart the dash to get behind the headunit to connect the MOST net Y-cable. I was sweating bullets the whole time scared I was going to scratch something.
Next was running the 4m MOST cable to the trunk. Once again, scary stuff to do to a new car.

Final product. I have the DA1 mounted behind the ASD amp. I know it looks like the MOST cable is being pulled too tight but it's not. It's pretty stiff cable and that's just the way it lays in there. There's about 3-4 inches of slack in the cable.
While I had the interior torn apart, I ran the control cable for the Helix Director. I temporarily mounted the control unit in the center console until I can get a proper housing made for it.
Now I wish I could say my install went as easily as gtmax500's. I'm currently having a issue with the DA1 not wanting to be programmed to the "BMW" MOST net standard. When I use the Mobridge setup software, the DA1 always reverts to "Audi" no matter how many times I select "BMW". I'm still waiting for a reply from Mobridge support about that.
One the plus side, the Director is working beautifully.
