My 2010 has only the base(base) radio. I've been thinking about doing this install... but I would really love to have an EQ as well. I was under the impression there is no way to code my radio for the EQ with this Alpine amp. ?


Thanks

It is possible to activate the equaliser controls in iDrive by setting the appropriate CIC module parameter to "premium_hifi" (from memory) or "m_individual_sound" (again from memory so might not be entirely accurate but you get the general idea). The only trouble is that you then get no sound out of the unit at all
I suspect that these settings switch the head unit to output for the HK system which clearly does not use the same channels as the lower level stereo's - more than likely a digital output rather than analogue.

I think it would be great to get an amp that could take these HK system outputs!
