That’s exactly the set up I have, I’ve checked the power from the white cable on the wiring loom from the amp and it’s live but now think the amp is dead. I’ve unplugged the amp and the connectors were badly corroded and white powder coming from the amp. I’d say there’s been water in there at...

How do you bypass the amp?

Mine is the third one along basic with amplifier no DSP. I’ve taken the amp out today and would say that’s the problem as the connectors are corroded by water damage I would say. I’ve ordered a second hand amp so will hopefully receive by Wednesday and see if that sorts it …

The wiring looks good, someone’s been in the dash as a few of the screws are missing. All of the harnesses are in tact with the surround and clips and can’t see that water has got into the boot either. The audio holder looks complete too which makes me think the audio system has not been...

When I purchased the car the original radio was pixelated and didn’t work so I haven’t heard a sound from the old unit.

The explanation in the article doesn’t relate to my amp unfortunately as it’s not a DSP. I’ll try emailing them with all the photos and see if they can explain how to sort it.

I have read through it thank you and still can’t sort it

The Ford audio systems with MOST were from 2005 -2010 I think. I’ve had problems with no screen on these but managed to sort out

It is the BMW54 spec I think

Yours would definitely need the extra cables for the amp to work. I’ve seen the LEAR number on the amp so know it’s definitely correct and ATD did say if I had the amp ending 30 I’d need additional cables which one alone was £150! Definitely not the case with mine but still struggling to see why...

I wish I was deaf sometimes

I paid £259.99 with all the cables and asked them more than once to check if I needed any other cables so that I could get them altogether just to be sure. This is the photo of the rear of the android system

I gave my registration number and details of the rear amp before buying to make sure it would fit and asked if I needed any other cables which I was told I didn’t and would work with the amp. I’m now starting to wonder…

This is the one I’ve purchased

I’m not sure, I know the HSE doesn’t have the sat nav but also doesn’t have an amp in the boot. The l322 3.0td6 2005 I have does have the sat nav system so wouldn’t change that but with the 2003 I thought rather than fix the pixelated display I’d buy an upgrade so that I could have sat nav and...
