Speaker upgrade - with NAV fitted

I have just installed a Blaupunkt plug and play amplifier into my E89, Sdrive 35iS and it all works fine.

I was struggling to find information on this so I will be posting photographs and a full description once I've had a chance to write it up.

Just anyone out there who's thinking of doing this, my car is fully loaded with the exception of a speaker upgrade package, therefore it is fitted with the NAV system but the basic stock speakers.
at the moment I've purely only upgraded the amplifier with a plug and play hidden system which still looks completely stock and hasn't involved cutting any wires.
I am also about to install the to additional ( missing) tweeters from the top of the door panel, again to look totally stock and just increase the sound quality.

Keep us posted

Having been totally unimpressed by my "upgraded" oem system. I have searched for some more info and others experiences regarding improving the rear sound from my z4.
Tell us more about the amp you installed. Cost. Model. Etc

Thanks

I wanted to go with something that looked totally stock, I didn't want anything visible at all and also didn't really want to spend too much on the upgrade as I don't intend to keep the car for longer than 12 months anyway but felt it was missing something in the sound system.

So after a lot of research I opted for a plug and play amplifier, it's made by Blauplunk, The model is THA-475-PNP. You also have to purchase a wiring loom extender and the BMW adapter, in the UK the total price was around £230.

Essentially it plugs into the back of the existing head unit (either the standard version or the sat Nav version) and then essentially overrides the inbuilt amplifier and gives a better quality of sound to the existing speakers.

I hope this helps
