Dynaudio in their VW and Volvo setups do the same thing with DSP.......I don't know who supplies the headunits......is HK still using Becker?
I find it interesting the BMW went this route instead of a branded system. With Lexus using a more expensive HK system (Mark Levinson...same company),Audi using B&O(well.....visteon makes the drivers),and VW and Volvo teaming up with Dynaudio, I guess BMW was forced to act. Naming it BMW Individual also seperates BMW from MB which uses the same OEM (HK) for their audio.
