In the 2005 no coax is used at all, and the DSP amp works with analog audio signals from ALL the sources, including the CDC. The DSP amp has an A/D converter inside it to work with the analog radio signals, so the CDC signals are just routed in there too. (I guess BMW figgered out that it sounded lousy either way

So, if you unplug the Tuner Module, and then remove the DSP amp, and then re-connect the Tuner Module after like 5 minutes or so, the Tuner Module comes up in NON-DSP mode, and accepts CDC analog audio no problem.

And since the Icelink emulates the CDC, it will now work fine without the coax cable or the D/A converter.

Thanks I will foward this to tom from dension that way i wil not have to get the dsp kit and
by the way since you and tjj figured out the way to bypass the dsp amp have you been sucessful in adding the rear channels control by tapping into the plugs on the radio tune than routing it to the rear amp?
