Those with DSP on a 2003 and newer don't have to worry about this since BMW changed over from a digital DSP system to an analog DSP system starting with MY2003 (that's what 2003 and newer don't have the coax cable to the CD changer, BTW).

UCrew -

Great write up. I hadn't thought about using the crap holder bin for a really stealth install.

Did you disconnect your battery for the install per the instructions? If so, does the car need to idle or do anything special for the computer to "re learn" engine/trans settings? My previous vehicle ran like crap for the first 5 minutes or so after a battery disconnect, and I wanted a heads up just in case.
