Oh hehe it doesnt have to be boxed since i plan to use it, as long it works and it has the controlbox, IR-sensor and the nessesary cables i will be happy, in case the MCL-cable will be to short i will just try get hold of a longer one, no probs.

I will be happy to send you my stuff in trade for the things i really wanted when i bought this :)

I am sure I can find one - it may not be boxed but it will work! On call today but will have a search on Friday! I think it has a reasonable stretch of MCL cable!

Sure i would be intrested in swaping even the whole box (including a nice manual with a "blueprint of circutboard" in A3) for a Xtra speaker kit. You can give me a message here or PM if you find one extra of yours. Even if you arent able to find one i could look into scanning it but since dont have a A3-scanner that page would be splitted in A4.

However it would be supergreat if you had a extra Xtra-speaker kit as spare :)

It is no good with your 5500 as that already uses Beolink 1000 code but does do exactly what you think! I don't suppose you could do me a scan of the manual?! Or I'll swap you an Xtra-Speaker kit for it. I am sure I have a spare one somewhere!

When they say "seamless integration" they mean if they install it for you

Sorry I can't help you with your specific enquiry (there are loads of others here who can) but I always find it suprising how many "glue boxes" or converters you need to make the various generations work in harmony.

I won a auction of a "bundle of B&O-stuff" wich I thru image thought was a MCL X-tra Speaker Kit since the things really looked as this:

http://www.beoworld.org/prod_details.asp?pid=974

However when opening the box I saw that the IR-reciver didnt have the "Mute" or "Timer" text but did otherwise look the same. Opon reading the manual i got more and more sure that this was "wrong", since the manual said "Installation of IR Code Converter" and when i read thru the manual i get the idea that this is more a way to use a Beolink 1000 on older B&O machines (like BC7000/7002/7007/7700 and BM5000/6000/8000). Now for the burning question, can i use this "thing" to controll my BM5500 from a diffrent room with a 2nd pair of speakers? like i have understood a MCL2 is able?

Im i correct into thinking my box "only" makes you use a standard Beolink 1000 to controll your "older" system?
