So I can simply unplug these 2 connectors and plug the original wiring straight back into the radio module and it's then back to stock.

Of course this could be a male and a female of the radio module connectors and some tails on each that I can connect as I want, but an extension that I simply cut in half would do the same job.

As my X5 is a 2004, I assume I have the square pin connector type. Is there such a thing available?
Only available for the radio (ie. amp input) side of the harness. Metra makes the necessary adapter (or the ebay link, although I like the one from Metra better since the individual pieces snap out).

On the speaker side of the equation you'll need to find an old amp and take the parts out - the mates to the harness in the car are BMW specific, proprietary, and discontinued.
