To answer the questions again but in another way where you can verify for yourself...go to one of the online part database sites and pull up the audio/speaker diagrams. You will see the various options listed (ie 676/677/688/6F2...which is the plain non DSP, early HiFi w/DSP, HK system, and B&O system)...then take note of the item numbers in each diagram and note that the 677 & 688 systems (early HK & late HK) have the same part nbrs for each of the speaker diagrams.

If you’re not familiar with any of the online part database sites..here’s a direct link to the speaker diagrams using a F13 640i as the example car used to pull up the nine diagrams...a couple minutes of your time will give you the answer you seek as well as assurance as to what has been said is accurate. : https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/...MW+640i/USA/65

Thanks bro for the info.

I'd have to check the difference...but from my fuzzy memory...the EQ selection is the same for both. My 2013 F06 has the CIC iDrive & "un-named" HK system and it has an EQ w/surround sound selection. My 2014 F15 X5 has the HK system...and the NBT iDrive which has the same EQ selection with a check box for surround sound, too.


EDIT: I found some images in my pic stash of the CIC/iDrive's EQ selections and the EQ selections are the same...the wording is a little bit different on the latter NBT version...but the difference is miniscule:

{CIC/iDrive "un-named" HK EQ/surround sound selections}






{NBT/iDrive HK EQ/surround sound selections}

Upgraded with Match pp82 DSP with some tuning + unlock B&O profiles (with coding) made the sound awesome.

Understand the B&O profile is mean for BO system but for me it’s a lot different

If you really appreciate music quality, you will be better off with HK as it's easier to upgrade with aftermarket gear than B&O. Have a browse through this forum, plenty of discussions about this topic, including my own views and experiences. With a bit of planning and help from a knowledgeable installer you can make the GC a truly special music experience - and that's not something that comes from the factory, regardless what brand it carries. Feel free to contact me for images and details of my sound system build in case what's already documented here is not sufficient.

Can we just amplify the current system to make it sound better -- I'm running B&O as well.

It's not only the amplifiers that create sound quality... maybe more noise, but that's usually what it is... Also, I don't think there are aftermarket amps for B&O...

The reality is that it's cheaper for the manufacturers to put more speakers in than to select better quality speakers. 4 channels of quality speakers and a sub when tuned properly deliver better audio experience than all B&O 17 (or however many) speakers...
