Hello,
Does anyone know for a 2003 540 with Nav & DSP does the radio control (turn on) the amp, or does the amp control (turns on) the radio?
I'm trying to track down a slow battery drain and I'm wondering if I unplug the radio if that will then not allow the amp to turn on, or if I unplug the the amp, will that not allow the radio to turn on?
Thanks!

In a non-DSP system the radio turns on the amp. The DSP system should be the same.
Unplug to amp and see if your drain stops.
How about the FSU?
Thanks Jim.
The FSU was replaced around 5K miles ago for wacky fan operation (that is fine now).
So, if I put fuse 58 (10amp) back in, and disconnect the just amp (& the amp is the problem, and I realize mine won't be the first amp that has issues), I should see the same results as i when I had fuse 58 pulled out. If that's true, the problem should be the amp (vs. the radio being the culprit), right?
Thanks for the info.
