My BT is OEM, but I ripped out my DSP amp and replaced it with a PDX-5 after adding RCA outs to my BM53 radio using a Metra adapter. When you do that on an M5, you lose the connection between the ULF unit and the front speakers. I could just re-route the wires in the trunk and play my BT through my stereo system, but I don't want to because (a) I have invested a fair amount in my front soundstage and (b) the volume without running it through the PDX-5 amp is not what would like and am therefore adding an ELK 800 10 watt PA amp to the speaker outs from the ULF unit. There are plenty of posts on this board, M5Board and DIYMobileAudio about this. Check out those by El Duderino, for example.
