I have the system with tv/nav but without the DSP amp.
Yes, but it depends on your car's manufacture date. If you have the non-DSP system, you can get low-level outputs from the radio module in the trunk. BMW switched to the "new gen" radio in 2002, so I will list the radio pinouts for both types of radios.
