Anyone with retrofitted Blaupunkt Plug & Play Amp, How did you route wires (poor FM?)

davidmbell · 01-09-2011, 01:45 PM

Can those people on here with the retrofitted Blaupunkt amps please let me know how you wired your cars? EXACTLY.

And if you've had any noticeable difference in FM performance since?

I am experiencing some poor FM performance following installing my Blaupunkt amp and have read a fair bit about Class D amps and RF Harmonics (see here http://www.babybmw.net/forum/viewtop...2f81c6#p158640 )

It seems class D amps emit frequencies that can bugger up FM performance, and I've noticed it.

I ran the speaker to/fro wires down the drivers side of the car (UK RIGHT HAND DRIVE CAR) and the power leads (+/-) run from where the amp is installed (on the right of the rear bulkhead) backwards and then at 90 degrees to the battery and earth point.

I think others have their wires down the left side of the car (looking at it from the rear).

I wanted to know if this will solve my slight FM dips...

thanks,

David

I know this in old post, but I hope you can help me.
I've just bought a 12 month old 35is, it's fully loaded, but oddly missing any speaker upgrades, so has the base 6 speaker system but high end nav.
Does you car have nav?
I only ask because I would like to install the plug an play amp to keep the oej look and wanted to make sure it was possible an if so what harness I would need?
Did you install any speaker upgrades as well?
