the guy I have been dealing with at bmw said that the black rectangle clip holding the spliced wire has a resistor on the other side.

They said it might have something to do with a previous piggyback; maybe JB4. Which matches what Joe from TGS said to me as well - some sort of bypass to stop comms while not in the stock map.

I will find out in a couple hours whether it is the culprit. I never would have thought to check the wiring for something like that.
