CD / Icelink to radio module signal type?

[X5_44_v8_nl]

Hello,

Does anyone know what type of output signal the CD changer and/or ICElink plus have to the radio module. It has basically got 3 wires: left, right and common ground.
I was wondering if I could connect another device, such as a DVD player, to these wires and have stereo sound (while the radio 'thinks' its playing CD).

Any Ideas?

The signal is normal RCA preamp level... but you should really cut it and run it through a switcher.

Soundgate makes a BMW switcher (AUXBMW?) but I think it had noise in it the one time I tried it.

What year is your X5? If you have a 09/02+ model, you can get the BMW AUX kit for about $40 - a lot less expensive than hacking up the ice>Link.

I'll also need to know if you have DSP (Digital Sound Processing) or not.
