Broken Amp - Factory Replacement

[frencheee]

Hello, I only have sound coming from the front left speaker.
I have a 2004 X5 3.0 Sport Diesel with Sat Nav but no DSP.

I wanted to check the connections before I buy a replacement.

I have tried locating the AMP but I'm not sure which one is my AMP? Under the DVD SAT Nav I only have a blue tooth connection box?

I looked under the Spare wheel cover next to battery, but I'm not sure which one is my AMP?

Does any one have some pictures of exactly where it is. The pictures I can find on here seem to be of the DSP AMP?

Thanks

Tony

You should find the amp under the cd changer.it's not in the rack ,but birdied just in front way down.

Thanks Rewmer, Just checked under the CD Changer and removed the CD Changer, But I could only see the blue tooth transmitter.

I removed the cable highlighted with the red dots. which reset the power to the stereo, I now have 2 front speakers, but no rear?

I thought the amp was in the dash. http://www.xoutpost.com/articles/x5/...formation.html

Yup, that is where my DSP amp is, driver side, by the battery, toward rear of car.
