ok so im doing my second custom install on my friends 1998 bmw m3. first he just wants his kenwood cd player put in. i need to know if i have to bypass the factory amp or not with this car because the only one ive done was about 6 years ago and i just dont remember. also what size are the hex screws holding the radio in.

now if the amp does need to be bypassed does anyone know the colors of the wires????

If you are talking about the Allen Screws, they are 2MM
