Ordered this from crutchfield

http://www.crutchfield.com/p_158BT40...P.html?tp=5684

Looks like it has all the features I was looking for and you can adjust the colors to match the interior color of the TI. Is a little more "flashy" looking than I wanted but it's not too bad. And I couldn't see spending twice as much to get something that looked a little better.

Also picked up 2 sets of Boston Acoustic 5.25" component speakers to fit in the front and back.

On sale on crutchfield for $62.99. They weren't available after I bought them. Guess I got the last ones.

Ordered the 4" to 5.25" adapter brackets off ebay for the rears.

Everything should get in next week and I will work on installing next weekend. Hope it goes smoothly.

I think I will experiment with using the BMW amp or not, factory tweeters or not, using the crossovers or not. Assuming if using BMW amp the signals for the tweets, mids and woofers are already being ran through a crossover of some sort. Who knows, I have read a lot on here and other forums and there seems to be lots of contradictory information. If Anyone have experience doing the same thing and can save me some steps?

I have the 10 speaker system now, with 2 blown out rears and 1 tweeter up front not working.

We will see how it all goes.

This setup should work well for the time being and I can easily add a small amp, box and sub for some low end.

I removed the non-working CD changer in the back, Can I power an amp off the power run that is there for the Changer?
