The amp is visually identical to the Range Rover one, only difference is the label depicted.
I also have an amp with serial number ending in 54, not 58, arriving shortly.
I found a website specifying BMW parts, and all Lear Amps were told to be uncoded and as long as the host-car had navigation they should be interchangeable.
I followed my hunch and forked over 100£ for each, lo' and behold the newer one (serial number ending in 58) works like a charm. I am very sure the older one will work as well.
I did find the problem with the original one, it was a corroded pin for main power input, have soldered a new wire to it, but I will continue to use the bmw one, because reasons.
If any are interested in the original one; it is for sale to the highest bidder over shipping costs.
Also the other bmw amp will be sold after I confirm it works.
