Folks, i know this is an older thread and also this info is particular to the F10, but if your car has a 10-pin Idrive controlled, your car is probably built prior to 9/11 and if that is the case, your idrive controller has 2 extra pins that are coming from the PDC and Camera/HDC buttons. The idrive controller with 10 pins is reading those buttons and converting them to CAN signals for the car to know the button are pressed. If your car is post 9/11 then your car came with the 4 pin idrive. Check up newtis.info for the wiring details.
the newer ICM which takes those signals from the buttons directly and hence your idrive will be one with 4 wires
