I would like to get my Empeg installed into my 9-3SE and can't wait to read about your experiences. I have hope to take a look inside the dash to see exactly what's back there some time soon, although I have a pretty good idea from schematics I have seen. Did you end up ordering a Viggen or one of the "lesser" 9-3s?

I have found good power from the 9-3SE, though not as good as in my 330i. Can't get the Empeg into the 330i, unfortunately, and have to make do with a custom SSI Neo 25 install. Works pretty well, but I miss the a lot of the Empeg functionality.

Is the Sony stalk converter link you posted capable of talking to the Empeg directly or do I need to load Hijack on to get that functionality working correctly.
