Ive looked at the possible install of a aux in on my sat nav factory unit, but I need Bluetooth and music from my phone plus DVD to the alpine headrests that are already in. So the lots coming out although it's fully working It's the BMW early 2003 system
I have the sat nav factory unit at the front with the 2 connectors on the rear with the amp in the rear with the tuner
A pioneer sat nav dab head unit is going in the front with a 1200w pioneer amp in the rear with a new amp on the sub

I've found the pin outs on the stock Lear amp which I need to take the speaker cables off. I have the low mid and tweeters in the front doors and low and mid in the rear doors
My question is it ok to parallel the mid and lows (not sub)in the doors together and put a crossover for the tweeter in the 2 front doors. Does anyone know the speaker ohms ratings as the stock speakers are up to a good pounding so I'm keeping these in. I'm making my own enclosure for the front head unit and covering in black leather. As the kits available look s......t and plastic
I will take some photos for all of us living in the cd and tape world I don't think it's a hard job as I've done it in the x5 which now thumps away down the road to my iTunes playlist
 
you can add bluetooth streaming to the stock system, vist the carphonics website and view the bm54 upgrades one of which is adding aux & bluetooth to the standard bm54.

anyhow if you do go down the rip out route the stock front door speakers are a 3 way syatem, bass in the bottom, mid range door handle height and tweeter so you would need a 3way crossover to run them properly. speaker impedance is easy to measure with a multimeter, although i would imagine main drivers are 4ohm, and possibly 8ohm for the tweeter
 
I love the sweet sound of my v8 and some days I'm in complete silence in my rangie just loving the engine note
I also love music that's produced well and comes alive with top quality balanced hifi. It grates on me hearing music played through cheap crap head phones or single Bluetooth speakers as that's not our ears or minds is trained for
A good system will play at any volume and sound sweet. I like it loud and sweet. The secret to this is a graphic equaliser on the headset. It matches everything up just right so the speaker doesn't clip at high volume
It's like comparing your flat tv sound with what you experience at the cinema.
3 wAy crossovers it is then I think I might as well put another set of tweeters on the rear pillars
