Well after waiting for 2 months for delivery of my unit from Joying in China it appears that it has been lost in the mail. I've contacted Joying and they will send another one.
More waiting ...... |

The people I know running it with the stock hifi system seem to be happy.

I'm really interested in running the digital out function and possibly upgrading all the speakers. I only have the 4 mid speakers, 2 tweeters and two subs right now. I would like to move towards 6 speakers, maybe 7 with 4 tweeters and the two subs. I'm not a big bass guy. I just don't know too much about the digital out function and all the hardware I'd need to optimize that. I'm starting to research now.

Ordered 7 of these.. hope they sound good. Was going to go with JL audio. But wanted to tray something new. Plus they cost less. And have higher rms.. hopefully the SQ is on point. Cause if they are...m oh boy. A 600hd amp on the mids will sound perfect with the 13w6v2 in the trunk

ive been reading like crazy and I think once I get this unit I will look at just getting the match pp86dsp. I would convert the coaxial to optical and run it to the dsp. I wonder how much those two components alone will make a difference in sound quality.

Yes. I'm replacing every speaker. Also going to add a tweeter to the center and see what it sounds like. Really don't want to use a coax. Right now I only have front stage because I have the HiFi with optical. And the adapter only has front channel. But I'm working on an adapter for the harness to give me plug n play access to all speaking wiring. Currently refreshing my suspension. Once I'm done with maintenance I will tackle the audio build. Shouldn't be long maybe a few weeks.

Optical single to a dsp will always be better since it's a cleaner single.. the problem lies in getting the optical to the DSP. Can be done but most solutions are pretty expensive. Me I choose to just replace everything and start fresh..

Sorry, I don't understand why it's difficult. The Joying head unit has a digital coaxial out. The only issue I see is that the match dsp has an optical digital in so there would need to be a conversion for coaxial digital to optical. Otherwise, I believe the two changes on the stock speakers would be a nice starting point to find weaknesses and upgrade in phases.

My problem is having that god awful looking head unit... I think it would look pretty ugly on an e9x dash... and be too low to be useful... Unless you were able to hide the head unit and run the ribbon up to a hump or f30 style, but then you have an ugly silver box in your 1.5 din opening??? I like the clean looks of OEM, anything else typically looks very out of place in a BMW with a couple exceptions. |

https://www.1addicts.com/forums/show...5&postcount=14 The joying units do have an option for an extended cable for the screen if someone was to go full retard and hide the HU say in the glove box and run the screen ribbon to the upper dash. i don't even know how both units could be retained but its certainly a possibility. |

Yeah all those AVIN units that piggyback off the aux are trash, the look is cool and the way it mimics ID7 and so on is nice, but the aux-in is a dealbreaker... and most guys on here have no idea what quality audio even sounds like... so all they see if flashy apps. I'm looking for quality audio 1st... so maybe there is some light at the end of the tunnel for this android units... Especially if you are going to replace the amp at the same time and go with something like the match or A/F. |

Not enough for what I am looking for... I don't want to look down or cover the vents, just looks too tacky in my opinion. I could totally make a housing to fit the upper dash vent/center speaker location but then you still have a very ugly silver H/U without a face... maybe you could take the stock H/U face off and cover the joying unit... either way none of it is ideal in keeping a stock or OEM+ looking interior. I've done a bunch of high-end systems in my BMW's and Mini's and always retained the stock H/U for a clean look... Aftermarket no matter how good it is still looks cheesy IMHO. |
