    Bavaria C Professional RDS in my roadster?

    I recently bought two old radios (Business RDS and Bavaria C Professional RDS) as scrap, fixed the Business and put it in my '99 roadster. Now I found out that the Professional one is not self-contained, and I'm thinking of putting it in the car to get a bit better sound without having an out of place radio. As it is the radio just flashes on, so quickly that you have to be very attentive to even see the lights flashing.

    So the question is, what do I need to strip from the donor car (M540i)? I currently have the stock Business RDS as mentioned, with the large 6 CD shuttle. The M540i has the small shuttle, and it does have the magazine, possibly even with unknown CDs still in there.

    Oh, and please don't tell me to get a new radio, I specifically want it to look stock as this is primarily a show car.

    Is the CD player in those units better? If you figure this out I'm keen on the answer. The CD43 is trash.

    This setup has a separate CD shuttle. It's a tape radio.
