DSP vs. non-DSP is not the same as analog vs. digital or coax vs. 6 pin

Hi Kham,

I'm sure BSW or EAS will chime in, but to the best of my knowledge even the BM54 won't work for you as the European TMC is different than NA.

Of course, I may be wrong, but I think you...

Double check your wiring harness. Pin's 5/11 of the black sub-connector in the radio harness should be yellow/red and yellow/brown respectively. That is the feed from the Nav unit. Could be that...

There are folks more knowledgeable than I as it relates to which stereo comes with which vehicles (Brian comes to mind!), but I believe that Sat Nav always includes an amplifier.

Have you tried tracing the wires yet?

Simplistically, either a) you completely blew the speaker, b) you have a break in the wiring from the amp, or c) you blew a channel on your amp.

If the stock stereo is loud enough for you, then alt 1 will work fine. In my case, I couldn't hear the stereo with the windows down, so it was bye-bye DSP.
