Hi I am new to this forum and I would like some help in upgrading my existing visual boost audio (code 6FP). I have already upgraded the 2 door speakers and seriously thinking of upgrading the 2 rear speakers also. I am just wondering if there is any way of upgrading the existing amplifier of the visual boost head unit. It seems that the amp is integrated into the head unit device. Has anybody tried upgrading the amp as well ?

 

What system is in your car? HK or the base setup? What year?

Use bimmer.work to decode if needed.

 

F56 October 2014. System is base setup (no HK) with visual boost (6 speakers 2 x front doors, 2 x rear, 2x under seat).

Sorry but I don't know what bimmer.work is.

I have the same base unit/audio system and would be interested to know the upgrade options...

 

Thanks trentiles. Very helpful.

 

Check out Bavsound.com for some speaker upgrades. They also offer an amp, which ain't cheap.

This guy https://technicpnp.com/#products has some options for you as well. BMW MINI stuff is interchangeable as long as you cross reference.

I found the best solution beyond the Bavsound speaker upgrade was putting my music on a High resolution mp3 player Fiio X3 and using the line out into the aux in on the MINI. Much better sound than you could imagine.

 

I have already checked Bavsound and also replaced the 2 front speakers. I am also planning to replace the 2 rear speakers as well but I would like to know if I can also upgrade the existing amplifier. It seems to be integrated to the head unit. The Bavsound amplifier is supposed to replace an external amplifier. This is why I am asking if anybody has upgraded the amplifier and how. To start with I am looking for detailed wiring diagramme and/or a terminal connection of the head unit.
