i should think so, any gps antenna should work as long as you have the correct plug..

this is the type i used on an after market sat nav i installed ..

I have to call on the harness...GBP 175ish IIRC
GPS antenna GBP20

Yes, that is your audio amp - you have the mid-line version amp and, in theory, it should work just fine with the plug n play satnav harness. 'In theory' only because you should never say never
The plug on the back of the present radio/cd player runs the speaker leads directly to the amp - which is the same thing that the new unit will do via the new harness. The amp sends a signal on the i-bus telling the radio unit that it is there and the radio switches to pre-amp level output. In the base audio system the radio unit does all of the amplification as well.

I'll let you know as soon as I can.

Sorry to disagree Steve - the radio (BM54) functions the same in this config as if connected directly to speakers and does not give a fixed level output.

There are two BM54 configs - constant level (fixed) for the DSP and amplified (Hi level) for this amp or direct speaker. This amp is not connected to the iBus.

I know as I have just put a BMW version in mine to solve my incessant audio problems

I'll take your word on it, Steve. You are def qualified as a BM54/amp expert. That'll teach me to open my yap too quickly.

Either way the plug n play harness will (should) work.
BTW, would you happen to know if BM54's w/bad internal amplifier channels will still work with DSP?
