I just wired up my X5 for DSP and so far it's working.. I got the amp and the sub woofer out of a junk yard along with a MKIII for $400.00 and sold the MKIII for $400 on Ebay and got the DSP system for free. The color coded wiring is just the same for DSP and non DSP the only thing is Ibus and the telephone wires aren't there. I picked up the Ibus from the CD changer and just taped up the telephone 4 wires for later. There are two extra set of wires from the radio module that aren't used also. I thought I would be lucky and just pull the pins from one plug to the other but, that didn't work out. The main pins from the non DSP are flat pins and the DSP is rounded. The speaker pins from the non DSP amp looked like they would just unplug out of the plastic connector and plug directly into the DSP connector but no luck the DSP connect is a hair smaller or different manufacture. I had to do a little soldering. What fun.. All the DSP displays on the nav screen works fine. the sub works a lot of bass.. I'm going to have to learn how to live with the echo.. I'm still learning this DSP thing.. 0

So, to upgrade the system. I need get a DSP amp? Where's the stock amp located in the car?
It appears that I need to pick up the Ibus wire from the CD changer. Does this lose any functions on the CD Changer? And there's no need to connect up the telephone wires?
Where the article said on speaker pins. It's mentioning about the pins on the amp, right? And does anyone know how the soldering process goes? Is it possible not to do soldering, and buy a pin converter or other methods?
The article mentions everything on amp wiring. So, the process of connection up to subwoofer, is just plug'n play? The most important thing in this DIY, is on how to install the amp?
Sorry about all these queries. But, as I'm not a good-brained person when comes to problem solving. And it's kind of hard for me to understand all these pins mean.
