Has anybody done a stereo upgrade in the new body style 5 series? I'm adding an amp, sub and hardwired FM mod. Where is the antenna connection, dash or trunk? Stock amp location? Factory cross overs in amp? Thanks.

trunk yes to fact xovers use the new euro mini plug and caps for ther mids/tweets. the twisted pair wires brown with ornge stripes are usualy the pre-amp negitives(the other would be positive) just solder on a set of rca's.

I've located the two subwoofer outputs from the rear stock amp.  I'm going to use those for my aftermarket amp input.  The problem now is locating the stock antenna for the FM modulator.  Anyone have any ideas? Is it behind the dash? or in the trunk?
