I guess the reason is that on later HU, BT and usb connectivity is built into the HU. (one example is in classified sections)

I had the same problem with the MoBridge so I don't know if it's an anomaly with the units, the way they're connected to the loop, or the way the BMW MOST loop works?!? I coud do with a manual jumper loop that could be plugged in when the car goes for servce etc
There is a lot of misconception with the installers and on the internet threads. BMW has left a MOST loop connector in the passenger foot-well to update certain modules via MOST technology and not to connect ipod kits AFAIK.

I had a chat with Andy that the correct place to install Dension is where OEM CD player sits (Where he has installed his amplifier).
I have highlighted the pic


And then run apple extension cable from there to front of the car.
If installed correctly, bypass function of Dension kit should work.
I guess connecting the fiber loops correctly on the rear NSR wheel arch is pain in bum.

HTH.
