Once the OEM amp is bypassed/replaced then aftermarket amps are required. The main difference between coding and the mObridge unit is that you will lose the 7-band EQ at the iDrive screen if you code the unit to HiFi. |

If still not satisfied then contact forum member Mike Benvo, he can code your CIC remotely. I can provide you with the PnP RCA harness for the back as shown in the other thread. Remember, you will need at least 8-channels of amplification and a DSP processor. |

I can go to Mike's house, so that's not an issue. What do you recommend for a dsp? I would use JL HD amps for the 8-channels. |

I will check pricing of the necessary parts and see if it's something I wanna delve into. As of right now though, I changed the RCAs to the Bass Output and turned the knob to half way. The amp gain is around 1/4-1/2 iirc. This is just to get the sound I desire at the volume I want. These settings are higher than they were before my problems originally started (I had the XD600 and have since switched to the HD750). I am on the second LC2i. Still waiting on Musicar to get me a tracking number on the third LC2i that's supposedly on the way. |

Not to argue you in any way... But from my research, the accubass is disables by turning the small threshold dial COUNTER CLOCK WISE AND the MAIN accubass dial on the top to COUNTER CLOCK WISE as well. With the small threshold dial fully counter clockwise, any adjustment I made to the TOP accubass dial did nothing to my sound output. If I turn the threshold all the way clockwise, and turn the accubass dial from low to high, or high to low, I can totally hear a difference. And from my tests, the MAIN outputs also ARE affected by accubass settings. So both subs and the main outputs are affected by the accubass setting. Thanks again for all your help.

Once that is done then the Bass gain should be increased instead of the AccuBASS gain. I do not think that the AccuBASS gain is working as it should. |

Technic: Whilst on the subject of the LC2i.
I have a pair of 4 ohm, SWS8s under the seat with premium system. The subs go through your harness, LC2i and JL XD400/4. Since fitting the subs I have lost some midrange. What are your thoughts on configuring the system to run one SWS8 and one standard midrange sub? Apart from the stereo issues is this do able? I was thinking of running the standard sub through the premium amp with the SWS8 going through one side of the 400/4. Or would it be ok to run both subs through the 400/4 ? |

The main issue that I could see is the imbalance of sound coming from under the seats -you will have two different types of woofers (a sub and a mid) in a car with only two woofers powered by a stereo signal with only one crossover adjustment. On top of that, the OEM woofers are 7ohms, the SWS-8 are 2- or 4ohms, right there you will have one woofer sounding louder than the other. Something tells me that you will not like it in the long run. Try this: put both OEM woofers back (powered by that XD400/4) and tell us what you think. The OEM woofers are supposed to be good down to 30Hz according to BMW, and the extra power should wake them up quite a bit. |

Thanks Technic. I was thinking perhaps that if I ran one stock sub via the conventional right channel through the premium amp It would be adjustable from the oem analyser.
The left channel could run via the 400/4 to give more low down bass which could be adjusted to a certain degree on the amp. I was thinking this might fill to mid bass hole to some degree. Would I notice the stereo separation on the bass notes? I'm not sure. Can I run the oem subs through the 400/4 with a 7 ohm rating? If so, I will give it a try |

I have used this thin black wire as remote wire to my amplifiers. It always worked fine til I changed my HU to aftermarket yesterday and this wire has no current. Does anybody know the fuse number for this wires? And is there any link b/w after market Fakra connectors and current in this wires (since I have gone for aftermarket fakra connector)? Thanks.

It had, but then I have to lay new wire just for remote. I cannot understand that going for aftermarket HU with correct Fakra can interfere with this wires. And worst part is that no radio signals! (though proper aerial connector is used for the aftermarket HU.)

Your aftermarket HU remote out must be wired to pin 13 of your Metra interface harness instead. |
