1. Yes add a new wire into the BCM connector and run it to the cup holder.

2. Yes. I think I got power from the auto start/stop switch.

3. What year do you have? SYNC 4 or SYNC 3? There will be more changes. There is a change in the BCM to enable the LIN for the lights. There are changes in the APIM to enable ambient lighting and to select multicolor or single color.

 

I did not make any harnesses. I just soldered and tapped wires. I did not use a harness for the cup holders, I just used small jumper wires / breadboard wires into the pins of the cup holders. 

I have a 2024 which has sync 4.  Do you remember the changes you made with forscan to the bcm and apim?

I made the change in the apim to a 2 from a 3 thinking that would enable the menu in sync but it didn’t. I haven’t installed the cup holders or ran the Lin wire from the bcm yet because I want to make sure I can get the menu to show up first. Can I get the menu on sync by

changing the apim before the cup holders or wire from bcm is installed or does everything need to be installed to get the menu to display.

Yes, you can enable it on screen. I will try to find the changes needed.
