I will try that after I get back from south Florida later this week. Thanks for the suggestion.

From what I read the DSP that Dynavin is referring to is part of the 24bit DAC audio processror in the N6 and not part of the BMW DSP sound system.

So the N6 will still not be compatible with BMW with DSP.

I could be wrong still waiting to see someone with DSP in their BMW verify that this will work or not.

by the same token, i wonder what they meant by OPTICAL parking system - the BMW is using ultrasonic system, not optical...

Another things is that they mention "Double Radio Tuner" how does that work? BMW only has that one radio antenna connection.

I know on some of the newer Volkswagen they have two different radio antenna built into the car that requires a double fakra antenna connection. BMW does not have this correct atleast not for the E53?

So maybe this double radio tuner works on their VW model but they market and advertise it to work on all their models the same way regardless if it really works on other models?

From the n6's owners manual:

OE DSP AMP: This option is for cars with an original DSP amplifier, if the car has a DSP system you can select it to adjust DSP output.


FACTORY AMPLIFIER HIFI: This option is just for special cars (BMW E46 & BMW E39, E53) without DSP amplifier system, selecting it can avoid sound distorted if you adjust the volume to high.

I mounted the GPS antenna for my Hualingan on the speaker grill in the top right corner of the dash. With all that black dash it blends in well, out of sight out of mind.

BMw BM54 radio has a dual tuner - that is euro model radio ( i think the other radio is C24? for the ones without monitor). the second tuner would tune to CLASSIC radio station (in UK, not sure about the rest of europe) for traffic reports. You will see the little TMC letters at the bottom of the screen. The US (and rest of the world) radio, BM53 does not have second tuner.

Also, BMW is using so-called diversity antennae, they supposedly can be tuned to several frequencies at once... not so sure about that particular functionality, though...

This from the company that I bought mine from.

The N6 will work with DSP on NON-Nav cars. If you have NAV & DSP, it is not plug and play and requires circumventing the stock DSP amplifier like previously needed.
