Alright, time for saving. Also, time to replace the good old HU

for a better future.

Anal AM and Anal FM thats a first j/k. Well I have been busy with work lately and am trading in my '01 325i for a '04 330xi so haven't had the time to work on the project. I am hoping to get the list up to $200 before the weekend otherwise I am going to spend the money and get the unit myself. I should have a beta version out by monday and will be sending it to the people who are on the contribution list to test.

Kamakazie is already testing a alpha version as of this moment and I am waiting for feedback from him until i get my own unit.

you guys are getting good results? i saw this article and wondered about overall quality http://www.engadget.com/2007/03/28/c...analog-models/

can anyone test and confirm reception on a weaker station?

**xtremak** · 04-08-2007, 04:47 PM

The exact wiring diagram is attached for people without BMW's. For people with BMW's you can use this as long as you have a second I-BUS interface not connected to the car's I-Bus interface. I will be working on a solution to let all the BMW owners including me which will allow us to use only one interface to perform both functions.

For some reason it wont let me post the image so here's the link to it.

I can confirm that the audio quality is similar to the car radio's. Weak channels sounded fuzzy as they did in the car radio and the strong HD channels sounded a lot better than the regular analog channel on the car radio. The only problem i noticed was when the signal was borderline analog / HD it would switch back and forth and the sound quality would change, i can see this frustrating people.
