So my F30 was totaled last week, sad day indeed. I am trying to find a way to get some of the MusicarNW audio out of the car and still keep my valuation so they will pay off the remainder of the loan. I am wondering if you can recommend the cheapest way to do this, as I no longer have the OEM amplifier. Figured I would never need it so I ebay'd it! Oops..

I would like to pull out the DAC and DSP, amp rack and amps, and sub. I have to leave speakers in so there is a "whole" car, but need some kind of amp/harness to make the speakers work. Any ideas for this?

Thank you much.

Sorry for the loss. I hope you're ok though. That genuinely is the main things. Cars can be re-purchased.

Why not buy some super cheap speakers (like the base stereo ones).

I'd sell you mine but I will want them when I eventually sell my car. I plan to return it to stock as you don't get any extra value from the upgraded ones.

If you then reattach the old harness, surely that would drive the speakers enough for the assessors to say it works?

I was wondering if this was going to be a problem for you when I read your accident post. :-( My insurance company is aware of my audio upgrades and they have a process for paying for my extra equipment in the event of a total loss. We would have to file an additional claim directly for the equipment, but they do have a process for it. Have you spoken to your agent about it?

I'd shop for few dollars the OEM Stereo speakers.

Then code the headunit to Stereo, thus enabling the internal amp and there is no more need for OEM HiFi amp. You just have to connect in the trunk the incoming cables from HU to loudspeaker cables. By the way, even without coding it will work I guess, but it won't be that loud.

Thanks all.
The problem is if I pull out the DAC and DSP, then there is nothing in the stock amp location, so the MOST connector just sitting there, so no sound. Was wondering if a cheap ass amp and maybe technic harness or something?
Technic any thoughts?

You have a MOST connection? Was your stock sound HK? I thought it was Hifi...

Yeah stock was HK...

Hm ok.
But then you could still code your HU to Stereo and route from the HU some wires to your loudspeakers.
