May I ask do you have to unplug all the cables connected to rear of the head unit first in order to move the fibre optic cable and connect the new hardness as well?

Thanks
I had the same issue installing the MMI BOX in my X1 F48 2016. At the factory, the wiring harness is routed so that not enough excess length exists to remove the head unit. I managed to connect all the cables behind the HU without pulling it out by disassembling the glove box compartment and squeezing my arm through the glove box till my hand reached the quadlock cable. You can also remove the center console to get extra wiring length.
