I tried it several times and was jamming it in there as far as it would go.

The moment I used the rain sensor red to red, Black to brown it turned right on. Not sure if the tap is supposed to slip so freely in there or if its supposed to be tighter. Maybe the pins are too thin. Not really sure. All I know is that it works with the rain sensor tap.
What color tap are you using? V1s hardwire kits come with a blue tap, which is meant for 12-16AWG wiring and much too big. We typically toss them out and use the red scotchlocks which are meant for the smaller 18-22AWG.

We cover the steps on our DIY here, the steps apply to MY16+ also: http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1026319
