Instead, go for speaker/sub upgrades, eg. bavsound, bimmertech, etc. Replaced drivers on my other 2 rides, both with factory HK systems, and sound upgrade is worth the $$$, let alone improvements to staging and imaging as good as can get without a dedicated center driver. |

I drove a m440GC this past weekend with hifi, the sales guy, seemed pretty knowledgeable, was telling me the speakers that come with hifi are the same as the HK, and that the HK's upgrade is all about the amp.
Sound familiar to anyone? |

Not just the amp but also the EQ settings are missing with the hifi. Curious to know if the speakers are the same however.

After reading a lot of conflicting information about the feasibility of upgrading my amp, I reached out to a local(ish) installer to ask if it is possible to replace the amp in my HK audio, iDrive 6 X3. They quoted me the following, and I would love a sanity check: MOST25 Platform Harness $85.00 PP-BMW 1.9HK (for SDMI SDMI25 $600.00 MOST 25 Interface with TOSLINK output Optical Cable $25.00 UP10DSP DSP Amplifier $1,300.00 10 channel amplifier with 11 channel DSP | 8x65w(4ohm) + 2x160w(2ohm) Does anyone know with certainty that these actually ARE going to work to replace the amp in my HK iD6 X3? I ask in an abundance of caution after seeing several sources that purport it is NOT possible to replace my amp with a drop in upgrade. Are there any items missing? Does pricing seem reasonable? Is there any issue with the fact that HK audio is 16 channel and the replacement seems to be 10 channel? If there are any gurus out there, your thoughts would be much appreciated. |

I purchased the active sound deactivation and went through the process with Bimmertech only to find out it was not needed (per the Bimmertech technician that was online with me). This was for a 2022 X3 30. Not sure if it is needed for other models.

The H/K system has a center speaker in the dash. Not sure if the HiFi does. There's another difference, albeit small.

I did not as it wasn’t even listed on their site when I bought the amp in December. The active sound is very loud now compared to before the amp installation so I did email them to see how I can tone that down or deactivate it (may need the cable or coded?) When I hear back from them I’ll let you know.
