The developer charges for his IP. Well worth the money, I think you are all in for less than $70 Euro for the adapter with the DSP and BC license. (You want the BC license too so you can change the clock, trip settings, average fuel consumption and lots of small coding goodies).

1. Put the DSP Amp back in.

2. Install H/U and run 6m loom from H/U to old radio connector in trunk.

3. Purchase iBus adapter and iBus app to enable operation of new H/U with factory DSP amp.

4. See what sound you get and work from there.

Good Luck!
and just to be clear when you say put the dsp amp back in, do i need to plug in all 3 connectors?

gettin the onboard monitor out was actually one of the things that stumped me for a sec too, but with some persistence i found the ONE YouTube video that shows you how to do it. ive attached a photo of what my original onboard monitor looks like. there are two screws hidden under the air vents, and a tiny flathead screw under one of the knobs that releases the bottom so it can come out.

FOLLOW-UP WIRING DIAGRAMS and weeding out unnecessary connections

Hello again everyone!

I am following up on my installation of the aftermarket Seicane unit, with some more questions and quandaries lol.

Everything seems to be working ok, but I still have my suspicions that all is not well somewhere on the I-Bus connection. I basically want to clean up my wiring situation, and remove all unnecessary and unused components/wiring from my X5 that can cause noise and interference on the I-Bus, namely the old built-in telephone, and all the unnecessary wiring for the leftover CD changer, antennas, etc.

My X5 came with the S640A "Preparation f tel.installation universal" option, and had the telephone in the armrest. Previous owner snipped the cable for the phone, and i was curious if that would cause issues with my new head unit, so i went ahead and just removed the phone tray and unhooked the circuit boards that connected to the tray. So, if they're just sitting there not connected to anything, is it safe to remove those cables? I'm assuming the cable goes from the center console down the middle and up underneath the backseat to the trunk and it ends with the serial port and has a white 12-pin connector as well ? BMW Part number for the cable is 61126908901 I believe. And is there anything other then the telephone that i can safely remove and not have mess up my current setup with the DSP.

Overboost, thank you so much for helping me get everything going. You were a tremendous help.

I can't really give advise on the phone cradle, my X never had it. What problems are you having on the iBus? I still have my TCU in the rear completely hooked up and have no problems at all
