"Output from the stock L7 system to the factory amp is fiber optic, so you'll have to keep that in mind when you rip out the amp."
Does that mean that the wires connecting to my speaker are also fiber optic? I remember someone telling me that they are copper. So..... with this new info I have decided that Im going to simply place the alpine HU under the cd player. Fu%^?*N alpine makes everything seems so easy!!
Although I do admit that I was told that Alpine was making the process easier than it seems. My MAIN question is can I simply change from the alpine unit back to the i drive with out loosing anything? ex/ FM/AM bluetooth. You guys seem to be very well experienced so I am taking your opinions seriously and will follow your help!

I have after market amps, speackers and headunit and all wired on its own not touching the factory set up.. how can I hook up the steering wheel control???
Sorry... I somehow skipped your message?? I bought a PAC SWI-X from memeber FANTASTIC 5, havent recieved it yet nor read the manual for instructions. Although I belive that it will allow me to control my apline HU with my steering wheel controls. I dont know how many controls I will be able to acess, but im guessing volume and track No. at the least.
Right now its a over priced foot stool.
