I just bought the Logic 7 amp on EBay and want to install it to my E60, which has European Standard Audio (no external amp at all).
I read that the Logic 7 connects to the MOST system. Does anybody has infos, which cables I would need? Is the MOST-Interface already available in the trunk?

Dirk,
You should've search and browse this forum about this subject before buying L7 amp on eBay. So far, no one has successfully retrofitted L7 on E60 due to MOST and i-Drive programming. However, you can try to see how it goest since you already have the amp.
MOST interface should be already in the trunk, but without proper programming the amp is like mute and deaf to i-drive comminucation channel.
Good luck

We purchased our car in Sweden where we lived before, and got all our options from factory, as usual..
But here in Denmark, it's cheaper to get equiptment like; Leather seats, Advance A/C and Pro nav retofitted, due to the taxes we have on our cars here... :thumbsdown:
So the danish dealers are good at retrofitting equitment, because they do it on almost every E60 they sell here...
When you retrofit the Logic 7 amp (located in the trunk, right?), disconnect your battery, and visit some friendly dealer afterwards, and ask if they wanna "add the FA-code" so the car knows it has Logic 7...
Do you have HIFI upgrade now ? Or just standard sound system ? Are there any subwoofers under the frontseats in the basic system ?

I have standard audio and speakers under the seats.
The plan would be to upgrade the existing speakers (front-door and rears speaker) with a helix system and Earthquakte SWS-8 under the seats...
I guess I'll run the speaker-cables from the trunk to the radio and use the existing wires to the front- and underseat-speaker locations. I will search for the most-connector in the trunk first...

Now I have the hardware I need in my garage. Unfortunatelly I can't find the Interface connection for the amp in TIS or WDS. Can anyone help?
Does anyone know, where I find the opticale fibres in the trunk (The TCU is there, but no amp, yet)
