So I finally got a replacement CD with radio unit and swapped it in and the issue actually got worse. With the old CD/radio, when I first start the X5 the radio comes on for almost exactly 60 seconds and then cuts out. Now it doesn't even come on.

Any thoughts? Could a bad amp be the issue? I've checked fuses and they look good, though if someone could list off the ones that are 'integrated' into the radio, that would be awesome.

Thank you.

You need to determine if the speakers are connected directly to the CD player (like mine are) or if your car has a secondary amp in the trunk (like most USA cars). The secondary amp will be in the trunk, usually in the rear left cubby, below floor level.
