Hi guys
Potentially asking more dumb questions here, but need people’s opinions…
There’s an auto electrician literally a few roads away - dropped the E89 in for a very quick look (he’s fully booked for two weeks to do a proper diagnostics)
On first glance, he thinks it’s the amp (the one I posted a photo of) that’s the issue - and that if it needed replacing, it will cost around £2500 for all work - can’t remember if he said a new head unit is in that price but said it all needs to be coded to my car
He also said it’s possible to downgrade (as I apparently have a high end amp) but that would be around £1000 for a downgraded headunit and amp
Someone else advised that I could get a plug and play amplifier, plug it in and use that.. for now.. and I’d get sound back
To be fair, I’m not THAT fussed about how decent the sound system is. I kinda just want to hear music as I don’t drive many miles
Questions…
A) is his £2500 estimated (without a proper diagnostics) reasonable? (If all needs replacing)
2) is downgrading an option at that price?
D) Would a ‘plug and play’ amp actually work with all the connections I currently have in my amp? Without coding? (I think I have 3 connections in the top of my amp if you see the pic I posted before)
Need to ask these dumb questions to experienced people..
