ASD retrofit?
Hi,
I got a 328i 2013 with JB4, the power is enough but the sound from the inside is not very nice. I don't want to spend much money on a new exhaust (I don't like it when they sound too much). But I would love to get a better sound inside of the car. And that's why ASD would be perfect! I know you can purchase the ASD module, but will it work on my car? I have the HU_ENTRY, with a 6.5" screen and the standard speakers (+dash center speaker). I guess this is not the Hifi-package. I checked the trunk on the left side, and there is no amp at all there. Is it possible to fit the ASD and code it in without many additional retrofits? I don't need a discussion about ASD and that it is fake and so on Thank you! |

Yeah I'm also hoping this can be done. I have a 320d and would love for there to be more sound inside. Hopefully it's not too difficult.
I saw some of the units on eBay for sale |

The pins and connectors should be like in this thread http://f30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho...1102274&page=4 |

Are the numbers, the pin numbers on the head unit and the ASD-unit? 3,7,2 and so on, and 38,30,9 and so on for ASD. I think this is a picture of a HU_ENTRY, which I have: Does this mean I need to find which pin is what number, then just plug them in the right pin according to the picture you got. And the existing cables should be plugged in the ASD-unit? |

If you have the standard speaker system without an amp, this will be a bitch to wire. The speakers are connected directly to the headunit so you will need to remove the speaker pins from the headunit quadlock connector and somehow route these wires to the ASD module in the back. Then you need to install additional wires from the ASD module back to headunit again.
On the Hifi system this would have been much easier since all the wires you need are connected to the amp in the trunk. |

Because he has no amp there's no need to install the asd in the trunk. @[joq3] yes, these are the pin numbers. And normally you should also find the cable colors like in the picture. |

Is it possible to make a plug? Where should I take 12v from? EDIT: And also K-CAN2, or is K-CAN2 and 12V included in the Rheingold blueprint? Last edited by joq3; 05-24-2016 at 12:47 AM.. |

Here it is. According to this wiring diagram the 12V should taken from F120 in the trunk. So there is only one cable which must be routed to the front. And yes, it's also possible to make a plug with the parts from the other thread. |

Just found this thread... and it confuses me
I have a 428i with base stereo (no amp) but I do have ASD. I have the ASD amp in the trunk. I ordered the bimmertech amp and a PnP base to hifi harness a while ago. Will this work? The PnP harness needs to be plugged in into the HU. If I understand the schematic above correctly, normally in an OEM hifi config, the ASD will mix the sounds and then the sound will be amplified by the Hifi amp and then to the speakers. But in a base config the HU itself will amplify the sound and then the sound will be mixed by the ASD and then to the speakers. I guess in my config the bimmertech amp will come before the ASD. Or am I wrong? Is that ok? |

You have to be careful, because the ASD works as an amp. Here the text from Rheingold: "Via the signal RAD_ON, the ASD control unit receives the information headunit ON. The audio signals are routed through the ASD control unit. In this audio system, the ASD control unit also functions as an audio amplifier." I'm not sure if it a will work. And then the right sequence should be: HU -> ASD -> AMP -> Speaker. At Hifi-System the ASD also comes before AMP. |

I went out to take a look at my ASD setup today:
As you can see, no amp, only ASD Close-up of the ASD wiring: If I understand correctly, the sound of the HU is arriving at the ASD and is amplified there and then going to all my speakers? Could I plug in a harness in between the existing connecter and the ASD, that picks up the speaker wiring, running it by an aftermarket amp, before continuing to the speakers...? Could be very easy to wire an aftermarket amp that way. Only need to run separate wires to the subs, and if I want, to a center speaker. Correct? Or horribly wrong? |

Yes, i think this idea could work.
But i'm not 100% sure. The problem could be that the amplified signal from the ASD will be amplified again by your own amp. |

I got all goods delivered by Leebmann24,
I have the PIN Assignments but I'm confused with the wiring, Can someone clarify how to start with the Wiring to retrofit the ASD, please ? I have HIFI 676 Can I share the power of the HIFI Amp or do I specifically need to go to Terminal 30B ? Same question for the K-CAN2. |

And maybe it's to much power for only one fuse if you share it. And the K-CAN2 you have to branch off when you find the yellow/red and yellow/brown cables in the trunk which should be somewhere on the left side. |

Please take the exhaust off the car and be done with it.
