Sorry for an odd title.
While replacing my power antenna with an interchangeable mast (see writeup here: http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1004311 ) I believe that I found the factory amp, still installed but not in use.
I'm trying to figure out what is 'mounted' to it (outboard side). I can't get a very good view, but I see a large harness plugged into the box in question. It could be that this is just part of the amp assembly, but I don't know for sure.
I'm considering pulling the amp, and want to know if I have to develop a new way to mount this other piece. If it's part of the amp (potentially silly question alert), are all the wires in this harness part of the audio system? If so, I think I want to pull them all out. I want this new stereo install to be clean and clutter free, without all the guessing and wire-diagram-checking that I've had to do (in case I sell the car, that is).
First pic is from the inboard side - you can see part of the Blaupunkt name.
Second pic is from the rear. You can see that this piece (or section) in question is a different size, which is why I am/was thinking this was a separate component.
