I seem to been getting a bit confused. Can I just clarify one thing. When were talking about the HK setup, are we just on about radio as this isn't such as biggie for me, I don't listen to radio much. I would be happy to maybe buy a simple antenna, and connect up to the 4 speakers if such an installation is possible. Its the other stuff, like DVD's, Sat Nav, Cd's which I'm more bothered about.

The speakers are on the body harness, and the sub and amp are on the HiLine harness.

So it may be possible to connect the HK sub and amp up body harness, by doing the loom you suggested?

A similar one to above, but not the same....

It's a "do able" job, just depends on how much time and effort you want to spend on it.

If the sub and amp are currently connected to the high line, then I assume that this is done by cables being routed from the boot to behind the dash, and then the BMW connector you mentions connects into the Hi Line Head unit from these cables. Isn't it feasible then to leave the existing wiring in place, and simply adapt the connector to plug it into the new double din. I did a similar modification with my rear dvd head rests where I spliced the wires to a car lighter power plug, and it worked a treat with little hassle. I know this is different but trying to look for a simple solution. |
