Hi,

I want to upgrade the sound system in my M5 but I want to keep the head unit and disc changer, and the interface with the multi purpose wheel...In other words I want to upgrade speakers and amp(s) etc, and add an ipod jack.

Any one have any advice?

Thanks

Not sure, you'll probably need a different HU for iPod.

Ah, yeah, probably true. In that case I will forget the ipod connection, so I can keep the original HU. The car is in Oxfordshire, so any pointers towards decent sound specialists in the area would be great.

I'll be very little help in Yorkshire buddy... But I'm certain many others will pitch-in soon ;)

Hi

If your not sorted yet there is a new dealer (18 months ago) set up in Newbury

G7 Sounds http://www.g7sounds.co.uk/

This guy Gavin is a great dealer and very customer focused on what they want, he has done a few upgrades on E39 using factory radio and also changing for Alpine etc.

It maybe worth a chat

Cheers
