* Another thing I have run across during my research is that it looks as if the CCC and i-drive controller use the exact same wires on the K-Can bus to hook to each other, so in a sense, they are physically linked to same same wires on the same line of the bus.

* This concerns me a bit, as the CID display hooks to a different physical line of the K-Can bus. Maybe this isn't an issue, but it's not like all the modules in the car share the same two bus wires - there are many different lines of the bus (thus possibly different speeds/protocols/etc...) I've located where the CID goes into the 54-pin connector (x14272), but am not sure of anything else plugged into that line. (ie. I may have to run separate K-bus wires from the CID to the bus module (not sure what its called, but its under the glove box.)

More research to follow...
