Quick DSP Question

[SonnyZ4]

(03 BMW 3.0i w/nav)

I bought the iSimple BMW iPod control unit http://www.isimplesolutions.com/CES2/SoundByte.asp. And after installing it, all I get is static

It says that it wont work with DSP. On the car, I have a DSP options menu, but theres no digital cable going to the factory amp. Based on this http://www.abar.co.uk/z4/eas_BMW_Qualification_Sheet_Z4.pdf I dont have digital DSP, but rather analog DSP.

Is that pdf accurate? Do I really have DSP?

Thanks for the info!

After rereading it and realizing how dumb I am (I have analog DSP and unit no worky with DSP) ....im going to return it and buy the DICE unit.

So...new question... with the DICE unit, does it matter if I have analog or digital DSP? with both do I need the DSP adapter?

Sorry for such noob questions...

thanks again!

Anyone?

Not many use the Dice I don't think, so it rules out your market

But.. I thought all DSP was digital in some form, Carver or (facelift) Logic7.

I would guess that if you have DSP you need the adapter, regardless of anything else.

Have you asked Dice? The DSP is common across all BMW's of our era, not just the Zed, so it should be a fairly common question.

Oh... and another question.. have you considered an Intravee ?

I like the intravee from what I've read, but all the sites that google pulls up are UK sites...and I like in nowhere, Oklahoma! :lol:

I've read that analog DSP doesn't require the adapter, but then I've read it does. I asked them on Sunday, so hopefully they'll hit me back.
