Now for the difficult part - connecting to the laptop. this took 15 mins and is pretty straight forward. I removed the lower carpet clips and installed the adapter cables with scotch locks, to the corresponding cables coming out of the nav system (same colours as pic above) and put all the carpet back, with a cable for my laptop protruding into the boot. I think the main bit of info i have to add is the I-bus wire in the Z4 is White and Red with Yellow Bands on it, and you can find it everywhere behind the boot carpet!! I just installed the serial port version (rs232) as i had an old usb-RS232 converter laying around. Great Post, after reading, thought i'd have a go.

Hi again, so I did remove the TV module and reached inside the hole (below):
