Hey guys i was wondering if someone could help me as i have the 2005 530d Msports and dont have the little Amp behind the left or right panel in the trunk/boot.

I dont have rear folding seats and was wondering if there is anyway that i can take speaker wires from underneath my front seat sub's to the back in to the trunk/boot and if there is anyway i can connect the Amp remote wire to anything????????

Help is needed please........

Not sure if this will help, i had a look in parts and mods.

Amp install.

And

Adding an aftermarket amp and sub.

Bob thanks for your reply and i have already checked these diagrams up and i have checked the rear trunk and i dont have that little amp in my boot.
i have also checked Bruce Miranda's diagram about hooking up the remote wire to the rear fuse panel and have realised that my rear fuse panel is also different from his diagram as i have pointed below with red arrow's.

I don't think you even have speakers under the seats without the amp. The standard stereo in the US (the one called HiFi in Europe) has these, but the base European stereo doesn't as I recall. The fact that the amp is missing from your trunk (boot) reinforces this fact. Try contacting Bruce and he will probably help you out.

You have either an older or a new car than mine. The plug is still there but in a different location.

Hey bruce what plug is there? and my car is a 2005 (05) 530D.

Would you want me to take a picture of the fuse box in the rear and upload it?

I have also checked underneath my seats and there are black covers there as shown on another of Bruce's retrofit's.

Thanks in advance

Bruce what about adding the remote wire for the after market amp to the fuse on the diagram below.


If so do i just connect the remote wire to the live pin on the fuse box or would i need anything else??

Ya5 i dont have an amp in the boot either... and no if you have basic setup then there shouldnt be an amp (atleast in the freakin uk you dont get one)

How are you going to get the remote wire connected to the cig lighter??? as i'm trying to do that aswell but don't know how to...???

I hope your fuse box looks like the one attached. Pin 8 (rear) or Pin 9 (boot) on the plug X11011 is what you need.

This is way the mods insist that people put their car year and region atleast in the signature.
