It's a wiring/cabling issue with the harness.

It sounds like either they sent the wrong harness, or there was a harness manufacturing issue. The harness I have is different from what the distributer's tech has and the connector for the HK amp isn't keyed properly so the connector doesn't fit in properly. This has happened previously with a change in BMW's supply chain and was fixed with trimming the connector to fit.

Ultimately they're waiting on the folks in Germany to sort things out and they'll ship me an updated part or have me make a modification to mine. I'm not willing to risk shorting things out so I'm relying on them to confirm.

Also the Amp/DSP also seems to need an MEC (Match Extension Card), something that's typically an addon item or a completely different match 10 SKU to order. The MEC adds the input channel for the center.

They're sending out a replacement harness and a MEC to test fairly soon.
