F20 6WB retrofit with H/K Audio
Hi,

I want to retrofit the 6WA cluster in to my 07.15 F20. The vehicle has NAV 606 and the H/K system.

I believe that having the H/K system (using MOST connector), and the 6WA cluster. uses MOST too. How is this retrofit possible when the H/K system is also using MOST?

Thanks!

the concept of Most connection is to make a closed loop between ECU's ( ex : Headunit MOST output goes to Cluster MOST input , Cluster Most output goes to amplifier MOST input , amplifier Most output goes to Headunit input ..

   


you can buy something like this from ebay which is ready made , offcourse some modifications to the END of each plug is needed . I don't know about your knowledge so I can give more information upon request .

After a bit more googling, I can see that the HK system is not part of the MOST ring, you're right! 

I've read reports of successful external amp retrofits that do become part of MOST, but I think that's for another day...

Thanks!

It is because BMW made a "higher" audio level then high audio system  rofl
For F2x vehicle, H/K amp is 360W without MOST
For F3x vehicle, H/K amp is 600W with MOST

These 2 amp can be crossover by proper wiring and FDL coding; my F20 had retrofitted H/K amp 600W with MOST.

Did you need to re-pin the non MOST HK amp to work on the MOST HK amp or are the connections the same?

obviously the amp needs to be added to the optical loop.

The pin assignment and connector are totally different between non MOST H/K amp and MOST H/K amp; I’ve custom made a new harness, amp <-> speakers with those hifi “Gold x Silver” cable; and the 600W MOST H/K amp got standalone 2-pin power port, I’ve connected to battery terminals; also MOST fibre, dropped the amp into existing MOST ring.

Could you make me one of those adaptors?
