The HK is nice, it's a step above the stock system.
But for the price, it's not up to it's cost.
Satellite stations have poor sonic quality. It's nice that it's a "clean" signal, but it's quality is ultra compressed.
The problem I'm having with mine is FM reception. It's bad.
I can't believe I spent all the extra money and BMW and HK can't even make a good antenna. We have HD channels of FM stations, and if you can "catch" it it sounds better, good even. But, even with the strongest stations the FM receiver can catch and hold it. It cuts back to non HD. On some of those same strong FM stations I get hiss, quick signal loss and then back again. It's freaking annoying.
Cheapo FM radio's can get and hold these stations. My 135i's standard system always held these stations.
I'll put it in the list for the tech's to check out. I'm really hoping there is a loose antenna connection. If not, I want a new receiver, and if that means a new head unit, then so be it.
Anyone else have poor FM reception?
