Yes, there are two types of "radio" amps depending on if you have the DSP option or not.

And yes, if you get the same amp that came from the same BMW model that you have...you dont have any sound degradation. Sound degradation occurs when the amp is coded for a different BMW model than your car. And again, it's not that you DON'T get sound...the sound you hear is muddled/muddy if it is coded for a different model's DSP sound profile.

I don't have the software to do this so I just went out on the 'net to see I could find some examples. In the pics below from Navcoder website...you can see in the two different images that there's a field on this example page for a DSP acoustic profile (see bottom section under SPEED DEPENDENT VOLUME). This is not to say that this is THE (only) page to make a selection...just that DSP does have specific "profiles" based on what BMW model it is mounted in.

{DSP Acoustic Profile field does NOT have a selection in the pic below}
