I have an 01 530i and I'm trying to wire up a double din , but for some reason I'm not getting power to the radio

Does anyone have a color diagram for the radio

Hi,

Not enough information to help really. Different E39's came with different OEM audio setups and had different wiring looms in the dash area. You need to 100% find out which loom is in your car. From there, you can test to see if the wires are all working i.e not cut further back where you can't see. Once you know that, you'll be able to tell which are the power/ground/speaker/antenna wires etc. If you are in anyway unsure on how to do all that, then I highly suggest you take the car and new head unit to a local reputable and knowledgeable car audio installer or auto electrician and have them fit it properly and safely for you.

Cheers, Dennis!
