    2000 E39 M5 with audio issues

    I recently purchased a nice 2000 M5. It has a few issues that I have been working out. New clutch, fuel filter, oil, water pump, cooling overhaul, etc. Anyway, the original 4 inch nav radio was removed and a crappy clarion single din unit was put in. It was also re-wired. I removed all the old and have been trying to get it all going. I am missing at least one component from the trunk. I am hoping that if I post a photo, someone will tell me, "oh ya, you are missing the DSP unit or the NAV unit or whatever it is I am missing. Don't look at the wiring, as I know I have a few extra wires that were in the trunk when I got the car. I am most interested in the missing box. Please tell me what I am missing?20161008_143822[1].jpg20161008_143831[1].jpg

    the big connector with all yellow stuff on, that is going far out against fender, there it should be a radio module.

    Great. That helps. It appears, looking around on Ebay, that there are a few different modules that are available for my year. The BM43, BM53 and BM54. Is there a benefit to upgrading the module? The car is a 2000 and I am changing the head unit out for an Android ***** unit, so I don't think the nav portion matters to me, but I will still want the DSP to function. If the BM54 is not the best one, is there another model that I should look at?

    Upon further inspection, and talking with someone locally who was selling his radio module, it looks like I have a radio module. It is the unit on the left side next to the taillight. I think I am still missing something that mounts in front of the amp. Does anyone have a E39 M5 that could shoot a photo of the left side of the trunk where all of this is located?
