How can I tell if I have a DSP?

Considering swapping out my current headunit (Sat Nav, TV, Tape Unit) and covering all bases, but need to know if I have DSP as I believe that can cause issue with installing a new head unit.

Check the right side rear panel in the boot where would open to get to the tail lights, if you see a sub woofer than chances are you have dsp.

Put the last 7 characters of your VIN in here and it will list the 'as built' spec for your car...

One side I have a selection of fuses and storage area, the other side I have a rack holding the sat nav drive, cd multi-changer and DVD Drive.  There are other various metal bits in that section, but cant really see what.

Where on the Headset menu?  as one of the main headings? if I press the "Tone" button on the unit I can adjust balance, treble, bass, etc. Is that it?

I guess not...

TV function
Navigation system Professional
Preparation f mobile phone w Bluetooth
CD changer for 6 CDs
HiFi speaker system

Cool, that does make things a little easier (from what I have read).
