[QUOTE="M3Gonz, post: 8677720, member: 675616"] Hey folks, I'm getting ready to start upgrading and doing a complete audio build on an '06 BMW M5. I'll be using the existing factory head unit as this is one of those cars where you really can't swap that out. Here's what I understand, feel free to correct me where/if I'm wrong: The factory system (it's the CIC upgraded system on newer BMW's) runs fiber optic to the factory amp. I'll be removing everything starting (including) at the factory amp, then installing aftermarket speakers, amp, sound processor etc. In order to retain the use of all factory options, sounds, and accessories, I need to find a way to connect directly into the fiber optic cable that would otherwise go into the factory amp, and that's where the Mobridge DA1 comes into play. Then from the DA1, I run a toslink cable into the sound processor, then from the sound processor into the amps and beyond. Is there any other alternatives out there for this same process other than the Mobridge units? Without using Mobridge, I'm forced instead to go off the speaker level inputs, right? Thanks for the help! [/QUOTE]
