Need some Combox/idrive install help

Hey guys. I know there are a lot of combox retrofit threads, but I can't seem to find any with my OEM setup. I only have a TCU in the trunk and want to install the combox with my idrive install. My TCU has 4 cables hooked to the rear of it. The combox I have only has positions for 3 cables. I'm confused from there. Ill post some picks when I get to my computer. Anyone have an idea of how that's gonna work?

Oh and I DO have the factory USB outlet on the center console.

Thanks.

Ok. I'm guessing that is somewhere in the trunk as well? There is an empty spot next to the TCU.

Well I figured out where the MULF is, under the TCU. Now the question is what is needed to get it all plugged into the combox. Got to many damn plugs lol.
