I considered this, but the likelihood I would revert the power connector (the only unique connector) to buy a CD changer down the road is slim. The CD Changers are $500, and I don't even think I own 6 CDs!
That said, the power connector is the only modified part; the MOST connector can be re-inserted into the composite connector if one were to revert back.
On the positive side (pun intended), the power connector is live, with 12V supplied at the connector (red = +12V, brown = GND). I assume it is leveraging the BMW IBS strategy for the power control given its intent to control the CD Changer. So a simple cut & solder job is all that is needed. I may try reverting everything back to redo it all and take pictures, but no guarantees.
