I've got an '07 pre-LCI UK 520d. Its only got the single slot MASK system, no nav, etc, and only a speaker in each front door and on the rear shelf. Will this system be amplified, or is it just directly connected to the radio?
I had a good nosey around under the dash when i fitted the interface for my handsfree kit, and in the doors when changing some trim and couldn't see any signs of amplifiers.
Just asking, as i'm wanting to price up a digital signal processor fed system to integrate uprated sound with the OEM setup.

I see it as if there's no amp in the system, i can integrate a totally upgraded audio system into the cars OEM stereo system, by just interfacing a DSP and Amp into the stereo system and upgrading each of the stock speakers for a start. I just see it as a blank canvas if theres no amp present, abit long winded, but it gives you more options in the long run.
