Can a GROM/DSP aux unit be installed into a 2005 BMW 325ci with Harman Kardon audio?
There are more than one system on the E46. Not sure if you need the DSP for yours. If not, you should try to go for the Auxiliary Audio Input Cable Adapter for E39 5 Series (09/2002 and on), X5 (10/2002 and on), All X3 This cable simply connects to the back of the radio and provides an AUX input option on the radio.The DSP is for other models of the audio system and according to the PDF does not include the E46Unless you post a picture of the back of the head unit along with its particular model, it will be difficult for us to help you out.Maybe one system uses a digital input and the other an analog. Until you point out exactly what system you have, all we can do is post possibilities or theories to what can be done. But it is very possible that you can get aux input on your system without having to change everything else.This is the most common used and if you look at connectors 3 and 4 on the 12 pin connector X13649 (bottom left) you will see the Aux input connectors. But on another model things can change:On this one pins 8 and 9 are used for input.
Harman Kardon SoundSticks II versus Bose companion 5 series?
I am looking into finding the absolute best sound quality in computer speakers but I also would like to have a stylish look to them. I have found both of these that I am considering and price is of no matter. Which of these 2 would be the better of the sound quality putting price aside or is there something that would be better than both theHarman Kardon SoundSticks II and the Bose companion 5 series for computer speakers?
How are those old red and black audio cables called?
Those are loudspeaker cables. Many years ago BBC decided to put a stripe along the "-" (minus) of their loudspeaker cables to help system assemblies.Most people have wrongly used used the striped side as the "+" (positive).Some speaker cable manufacturers decided to use Red for Positive and Black, for the Negative. But the fact of the matter is that it will work any way you connect it, as long as you connect it the same way on both chanels and on the amp and the speaker (red with red + black with black)Are there plugs for it? Sure, you have all sorts of plugs available on the market depending how you want to connect them or the use you want to give them. - binding posts - spades - banana -etcBy the way. Those are usually cheaper cables.Good cables use just a colored sleeve at the end
I am trying to get my PS4 to stream sound through a Bluetooth speaker, but I get a message saying the profile is not supported. What should I do?
There are now multiple ways for you to stream your local DRM-free media files to your PS4 by using the “Media Player” app. Your PS4 can even play unprotected local music files in MP3 or AAC (M4A) formats in the background while you play a game. I find this is the quickest and easiest way to stream music to PS4, i even figure out how to stream my apple music tracks to PS4 by following the steps in the tutorial below. Hope it helps.3 ways to stream Apple Music on iPhone to PS4
3.5mm male audio cable giving me electric shocks even when unplugged?
I have a Bose Lifestyle 18 home theatre system, and there is a 3.5mm to RCA (not sure if that's the word) L and R ports in the AUX output port on the back. It's been giving me electric shocks by touching the jack, even when the system is unplugged. The steel sides of my iPhone also shocked me when the 3.5mm jack was plugged in. I'm using a step down transformer for the power.
I had new speaker and amp installed and now car won't start! Can this be caused by bad installation?
Oh these are always fun. Though I can't give you a diagnosis over email, I can tell you it is 100% possible to kill a car with a stereo installation. Your amplifier needs a signal to turn on or it will stay on always and kill your battery. Stereo install guys turn on the car and stab a test light into random wires looking for one powered only when the car is turned on. Unfortunately they have been known to splice into a CAN data bus. The CAN network in charge of communication for your security and locking could be disabled keeping your key from being authorized. Or the CAN network for your chassis systems can be shut down that deals with communication for your engine, transmission, and typically traction control. A CAN network is typically a 5 volt system but it suplies power in micro amps as it is only used for communication and not supplying a load such as switching a relay, lighting a bulb, or spinning a motor. Splicing into these to supply the relay to turn on the amp effectively grounds the circuit and does not allow for the digital signal to propogate. Sometimes it easier and they just blew a fuse while poking around with a test light, or shorted a harness by running a screw through it while mounting components. Had a lowjack installer put a screw through a floorboard and into a fuel tank once, cause a check engine light due to an emissions test, luckily it didn't burn down the car first. I have fixed at least a dozen of these problems on Benz's in the shop after a car got towed in from the stereo shop.
How can i run my car dvd player while driving?
You should have a wire designated for the e-brake hookup. Take that wire, and put it in each pin of the diagnostic port while the car is on, when you find the one that makes the dvd play splice it onto that one. You may have to put a toggle switch in line so that it will fool the player. That is what I did and may not be the best option. Hope it helps.
