Hi all just came back from a 2h drive and switched everything off key out of ignition etc. however I can still hear a humming sound coming from around the air control unit (ive recorded a vid clip but not sure if I can upload on this site?) but its been 30 mins now since ive finished my drive and ...

so are you selling the sub or giving it away  
also whats the connector that the sub plugs into?  im guessing I wont have that and its part of the DSP wiring loom ?

my parents are in biggleswade, bedfordshire so not too far.

where in the uk are  you based?
i guess i still need to find a dsp wiring harness as mine wont came pre wired for dsp

hi dpbayly
was the sub part of the dsp  or another extra?  what connector is used on the sub?  i assume its part of the dsp wiring harness??

how come you dont use it anymore?

Raj. True aftermarket would prob sound better but would like to keep it all oem.  Just need to find wiring harness
Is there a quick way to tell if my harness is 100% not wired for it.  Quick way to tell?

Also did all dsp come with the subs or were subs yet another option?

It's only ever done it that once. .... So far.  Also filled up today and pushed what I thought was the trip counter reset
However it came up check control ok but as I had it held down it went blank.  So what does this button do when pressed/held down ?
I did find trip reset to the left afterwards lol

I think volume under set. Is the "quieter" and"louder"  this option controls the level of mute applied to cd/radio/tape. When nav is speaking.    If nav-min isn't an option on x5. What option does control mute level?

please can someone help with regards to controlling the level of mute when the nav speaks..

i really want the radio  to automatically mute to a lower never when the nav gives guidence  at the moment it only seems to mute  v slightly  (like 1 click)

oh wow thats a really big job.. i did notice some E53 had a subwoofer unit in the opposite cargo holder to the nav unit (just under the fuses) i bet with the sub active it transforms the sounds audio inside the car... how many speakers should be on the rear door card? i think i have 10 speakers 2 ...

hi all
thanks for the feedback  my driveway is on a upward slope  so maybe that was the cause??

it hasnt come up with the error again since.. maybe a one off?? 

its a 2005 4.4i E53 btw.. the car never came with the handbook or satnav manual etc

I've only had car a week.  Got in it tonight and on the display
In the dash. I got the following
"Selflevel susp. Inact". 

What does this mean? That self level suspension is inactive?
How do I enable and disable it? I have no idea and no manual

Is the wiring harness something that can be got from BMW ? Plug n play?
Does it involve removing loads if trim and running cable throughout
The car?  Also other than the harness is it just the dsp amp I need
Or is their subwoofers etc that go with it?
