Default BMW E60 2008 Central Speaker coding

Hi everyone.
I have a bmw e60 2008 with standard audio system, no HiFi nor Logic7 and was wondering if it's possible to atleast code in only the central speaker? i want to keep the other speakers stock for now, no adding the whole new audio system from Hifi/Logic7 with new speakers, cables and amplifiers, just 2 speakers in the rear,2 in doors and 2 under the seats, but I also wanted to add the central speaker,there's no cable for it but I could get a wire from my M-ASK radio where the central speaker output is and connect it to an amplifier board that I bought, then to a central speaker but from what I've heard if you have a standard audio system,the central speaker is deactived,so is this true or does it work if I connect it? should I code it in somehow? and if so then in what module should I look for the option and what's it called,or should I add the 676 VO then add the code for central speaker myself? it really annoys me how the original standard audio system in e60 sounds so I wanted to atleast add the central speaker on the cockpit to make it sound better.

There is no provision for the center speaker, unless you have the DSP (Digital Signal Processor,) sound system. The audio has to be electronically manipulated to produce the ambient center sound. Separate amplifier channel and some electronic wizardry to make it all come together. Connecting another speaker randomly would not make it sound better, likely the opposite effect.
