Did non-subwoofer X5s have subwoofer wiring harness?

This is my 2nd e53, so I'm not new to them. I'm getting the bugs worked out of this one and I never thought about the fact that some came without subwoofers. I can't see why someone would un-install the factory sub in the last 20 years, so I'm guessing this car came without one. Did the sub only come with the DSP system? If I get a sub from the boneyard, can I just plug it in? Do I need to grab the amp with it? Is there more?

I thought amp left sub right. I didn’t have, wife did but I thought I saw the connector for it and was looking into your same thought process before I traded my 2001 for 2011.

Wife’s with sub did have the dsp.

I think the thing in the dash is only the remote. The “amp” is also the radio if I recall correctly.

Mine has DSP no woofer. I know the woofer plug is there. I think the amp is needed though. If it was plug and play, I would install both components.

Mine has no DSP and no subwoofer. What does the connector look-like so I can check for you?
