Installation Tips:
If your BMW X5 E53 come with factory nav system or there's a large screen in the dashboard, we will provide one 6m long power cable to connect loudspeakers directly under the boot(under the spare tire or on the left tire). If your X5 is also with DSP, this unit also can fit. (Note: Only support BMW X5 DSP from year 2002 to year 2007. BMW X5 DSP from year 2000 to 2001 will not work after install this unit.)

If your BMW X5 E53 come with CD player and radio in the dash, and there's no original DSP amplifier,you can just place the order because this unit is plug and play for your car, just take your original CD/radio out and plug the power cables, then push our BMW X5 dvd navigation into the dash, simple installation.Don't need to cut wires. Combined with your original car perfectly.

If your BMW X5 E53 come with CD player and radio in the dash, but with DSP amplifier(if you are not sure about this, please refer to following description), then you need to modify wires to connect loudspeakers.

How to determine if you have DSP in an X5

DSP (Digital Signal Processor) is the "premium" audio system offered by BMW for the X5. There are several ways to determine if you have DSP in your X5. One is to look in the passenger side rear compartment to see if there are dual sub-woofers installed.

 

If you have navigation then you can hit the "MENU" button and if one of the menu items is DSP then you have it - if it doesn't say DSP then you don't have DSP.

 

If you don't have navigation, look at the radio and if there is a DSP button then you have DSP.
