Thanks to grave77 (http://www.bimmer.info/forum/member.php?u=1537) i succesfully replaced the original stereo PH7850 + CD changer with an MP3 Player. Actually i didn't like the cd changer it was a lame to get out of car every time to put cd's. my new cd player came with an ISO speaker connector so it was neccesary to cut the wires of the PH7850 and to connect the 4 line out speakers with the wires of my BMW. as shown in If you're about to upgrade your Stereo read this. (http://www.bimmer.info/forum/showthread.php?t=10603) and http://www.bmwe34.net/e34main/Upgrade/Stereo_radio.htm, i did connect the wires but there absolutely no sound , i tryed a lot and for the moment gave up and put the PH7850 back but it asked me for the code. I asked grave77 (http://www.bimmer.info/forum/member.php?u=1537) and he show me the trick: since my BMW came with a full stereo sytem with an internal AMP i didn't connect the white wire No.:16 of the BMW with No.:5, after that everything was fine and now i have 150 songs in one CD and i don't need to get out of the car every time to put another one.

Cool, I am getting an Alpine 9830 HU installed today. MP3 as well and a pair of DLS R5a speakers up front. Driven by RF Punch 600a4 amp to be located left side of rear quarters (same slot where factory amp was in a sedan). Mine is a 95 525 Touring manual.
Pls AutoPage Keyless entry!.

Can't wait to hear the sound..... 4 more hours and it will be all done!.
