DSP Mystery/not correct factory MID?

[X5P1]

Greetings, my first post here but this forum has already been invaluable to me, so thank you all.

I seem to have a peculiar issue with my factory sound system(or so I think)

I recently purchased my '03 4.4i and needless to say I am in love. Funny thing though, the radio has an echo to it I can't seem adjust. This then got me looking into aftermarket solutions (Avin/Dynavin) and learning about the whole DSP debacle.

According to my vin # I DO indeed have DSP on my vehicle and I can further appear to verify this with the presence of a factory sub in the rear right compartment.....but!! My HID does not have a DSP button on it.

What the bleep is going on

When the pixels go out...owners replace the MID with one that has working pixels.

The problem you have is...who ever replaced the MID either didn't know or care that there are multiple types of configurations...and they installed a high MID that didn't have the DSP option...and if you have echo...they either had cathedral mode set...or they created a memory setting that had the echo setting turned up before they replaced the original MID.

You need to install a high MID w/DSP option (button) so that you can change the settings.

I had suspected something like that, thank you for Qsilver7!
