Ill send you a message

Hey mate, great work must of been a mission. I have more most loops as well but as the analog tv doesnt work here im not worried about and just thought it easier than adding to the loop. 

Dealer coding is mostly limited by tech know how as most of their training is for newer models. Happy to assist with coding if you want. Im in west auckland.

Hey team i got half way through this retrofit before i thought of posting so bear with me lol. 

the story:

Ive done this retrofit before with my old e92 and when i did i fitted the amp before the speakers and the amp alone made a huge difference to audio quality and the 535d was in dire need of better audio. 

Unlike the hifi option in the e92 the e61 hifi system doesnt have a amp so the only difference between standard and "hifi" is the addition of subs and a small sub only amp. 

L7 amp VS hifi sub amp:

L7 option ($677) consist of a DSP amp, front 2x door speakers , center dash, rear 2x door speakers, 2x boot roof speakers and finally 2x subs under seats

Id already swapped 4x L7 speakers i had in front doors and rear roof. Ive yet to pull the rest of the subs, speakers and tweeters from the donor car. I used the non L7 speaker for the center so ill swap all the rest at a later date

what i did:

front left and right: Because having amp in the e92 meant that all the speaker wires ran back to the boot this was not the case with the e61 but lucky for me the sub amp meant there was a power supply and the sub wiring already run. On top of that 2 line level input pairs looped off the quadlock connector for the iDrive supplied audio to the amp. 

This provided the front left and right channels. I cut the speaker outputs from the quadlock and joined the front speakers to the 2 pairs that ran to the old sub amp. Then joined to the L7 amp.

Center: After that i still needed to add the center dash channel so i needed another pair to the front. The amp is mounted on the rear left of the boot and the rear left speaker ran right past the amp so i cut the pair and the speaker end joined to amp and the other end ran to idrive this was to be the center channel. 

Boot roof speakers: as mentioned above the left speaker is joined to amp. For the right speaker i ran speaker wire from the left side and under boot floor following factory wiring threading through existing bundles to the right side where it was joined to the speaker wire just below the C pillar you'd never know it wasn't factory just the way i like it. Leaving the other end disconnected.

Yellow wire wasnt me lol i cut it and ran it in loom after the install 😅.

Rear door speakers: unfortunately the hifi option doesn't include rear door speakers and thus no wiring for any. I have left these 2 channels disconnected for now as its a big job to replace door wiring and connections via door plug. I may do this at a later date as ill get the parts to do so but it the mean time is more than acceptable.

Coding: removing option 676 and adding 677 to VO i also removed tv option as i used the MOST connection for the amp. While i was there i updated the usb screen to the nicer newer UI with album art.

So i already like the system but what a difference it made no more does the sound distort at high volume even with the missing rear doors and not all the L7 speakers etc. And with the equalizer im able to fine tune the sound to almost perfection.

Hopefully this helps someone or at least makes for an interesting read.

nvm. Looks like its called the SAT. Looks identical to the dct setup

Yeap SAT our 535d has this option makes a huge difference to shift speed. Also sharpens throttle and firmer steering.   

As mentioned in the update above the way the modules are differentiated by the ground connection to the module (as per wiring diagram)

Yeap coding out the sensor and if you have active head restraint do that as well. Dont connect the f80 occupancy sensor to the e90. 

Ok you need to find another white module for the passenger seat. And re-wire it the same as you did for the drivers seat.

The heated seat should still work but via canbus (assuming the chassis is wired with can). As mentioned above the occupancy sensor will have to be disconnected and coded out of the airbag module. 

Hey if you still need help pm me. Im out west.

Hi, Thanks for the thread and write up. helped quite a bit whilst doing this on my e90. The Driver seat worked marvelously after the connector and module swap, the one issue I have is the passenger seat. It seems to be dead and the occupancy/air bag light came up. I swapped the module from my e90 seat, however it was different from the driver module, it was a small black module with only 3 connectors. I do have OEM heated and electric seats so not sure why the module is different. Did you end up purchasing one extra driver seat module, if so what was the changes you made to make the car understand that is a pass and not Driver module? Could you help me out with the pin out for the pass side, perhaps an image of the underside of your pass seat connector?

Thanks in advance, appreciate the help

The 3 plug module is only for the heated seat. 

Question is what type of module did your F8x passenger seat have from factory? This is important. Was it a larger box like the drivers side? 

Bump

Sold

Must of regret selling yours a year ago ?

Sure do, had to be done tho. Prices are considerably less now tho so im still winning.  

Hey guys im in the market for an e92 m3. Ive seen all the options on trademe currently. My ideal would be a well optioned manual but happy with dct options as well. Not really interested in 4 doors.

If you are selling or know of some that are please give me a shout. 02102731873. Im located in auckland but will travel almost anywhere for the right car. 

Cheers 

I built this from a rolling body. Still had the s50 when i sold it, after i brought the e46 m3 in the pic. 

Those are pre-wiring for mulf/coms modules. That is normal thats why they were wrapped in the foam tape . What would help more is the vin of the car. Its more likely a faulty amp or missing optical MOST loop. Faulty idrive etc 

Hey guys im after a logic 7 amp to retrofit into my e61 if anyone has one or even a broken one please let me know.

Thanks 

Is the car located in chch? Thanks 

Sold

Yeap sold pretty quick. Phone was blowing up on friday. Crazy. Maybe it was too cheap?

Thanks guys, hopefully it goes to someone who will look after it. Would be awesome to buy it back one day.
