    I think you're asking: how do I connect a CD changer to a BM53 radio when my car has DSP audio?

    If so, use cable 61-12-0-140-718 (about $40 retail). This bypasses the DSP amp and sends analog audio directly into the BM53 radio. No more "DSP adapters" required.

    Connection details and pictures are available in my DIY: Nav Radio Upgrade

    Also, for the record, your old radio is a C43 not a BM43.

    Yes.

    Connect cable '718 directly into the Grom (without its DSP adapter).
