    evening douglas,im after your brain power
    my current car has the basic radio system ,mid,tape player,cd player......no dsp no nav no m audio just small 2 connector amp in the boot 12 pin and 26 pin its all still in position in the car

    i just added from a donor same year vehicle full sat nav,tv module,dsp,newer bm54 radio module 17 pin round version.
    the full loom is layed in and all connected .
    i new i wouldnt have any speakers as dsp and non dont match.
    what would my best option be to get the speakers to work ?
    1.remove the 3 plugs on the dsp unit and buy an adaptor off the bm54 radio module and add a fresh amp tapping into my old loom thats still all connected to the speakers.
    2. unplug the dsp amp connect my old harness back together with the 12 pin an 26 pin and tap the correct wires from the dsp plugs to power it..probably needing to add the front mid and tape player back into the old harness as well.

    any thoughts doug you could save the day..dan

    Hey Doug,

    How's everything with you? I hope I'm wrong but I haven't seen you post anything for quite some time now. Are you still on the board? I'm just wondering... and I'm glad to say I don't have to "pick your brain" for any M5 questions. LOL.

    Doug,
    I want to apologize to you for my "way" out-of-line posts. I instigated it and for that I am truly sorry.
    No excuses, just incredibly bad manners at the very least. You are an invaluable asset to all the members
    on this board.
    Please accept my apologies,
    Alan

    it's mentioned in a couple of posts - can't find the original one - it resets my cluster and my nav/on-board computer didn't look at the times and date but i assume they're reset too (pretty sure i still have 01' software too)

    if #21 is a DME reset what else do you think it would've reset or have affected

    Doug,

    I presume the "sound" tripped SES light with Peake codes 7F (Dm-TL module) and E8 (evaporative emmisions purge valve functional check).

    Any ideas? I'll do a board search as well.

    Thanks.

    Glenn
