Hi Dave, thanks for getting back.

Isn't realoem a US site, prices seem to be in $, or can I convert it to UK. Are US part nos the same as UK ones? 

Thanks

Hi, I have a 2001 530D touring with no radio. I tried to fit a Sony with the BMW conversion cable. It powered up but no sound.

It turns out I have a CD multichanger and Amp in the boot, which apparently means complicated cabling changes to get something like the Sony to work. I assume this is because the Sony already has an Amp in it? Apologies, my knowledge of auto sound systems is a little thin.

Do all 5 series of that vintage have a separate Amp, so if I get any 5 series radio off ebay it will work?

Or do some have radios without a remote Amp so I would need to be careful what I buy?

Any advice on this topic would be appreciated

Many thanks

Rick
