Correct, lift just one end of those chips as shown in the image and connect them with wire.

Once you make the mod, the switch DSP on-off becomes inoperative and can be removed. I don't remember what dials do what, I would just leave them as-is. If you do want to change them, take a picture of their current positions. Adjust the dials with a plastic tool and use the picture to reset them as needed.

That whole OEM DPSM was and still is a piece of crap.
Good sound “SQ” comes from quality components, source units (radio) and amps and that kit does not cut it.
The MINI head unit is a static noise box and the kit just makes it worst. If you buy a quality aftermarket HU like Alpine with a high power clean S/n ratio your system will be 100% better than any DPSM or HK system. If you spend a little more and add a small 4 ch digital amp like JL Audio or Alpine sell it will be perfect. After those upgrades the cheap OEM paper speakers will sound like high end system. It all about line voltage and the low signal to noise ratio from the source unit. The OEM unit is just junk just like most OEM units.
