jochen 4 Report post Posted July 10, 2012 And remember the following_ When removing the stock radio and fitting an aftermarket radio: a) you need to ensure the antenna amplifier stays powered, or otherwise you'll not have any useful signal you'll loose the FM antenna diversity function, and the antenna diversity switcher will revert to antenna 1, stead of switching between all 3 fitted FM antennas c) as a consequence of , your FM radio reception with an aftermarket stereo will never be as good as with the original factory stereo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Diversity tuner is one thing The ability to control the BMW diversity antenna switcher is another Does the Dynavin have the 2 x different diversity antenna switch control signals that the BMW needs?
