Need help with mediabridge installation!

Hi guys,

Just got my 2006 Z4 MC (with Navi) two weeks ago.
Bought a audiovox mediabridge 1500 with dsp on ebay from Bavarien a week ago, finally get to install it today but no luck.
I've heard for 06+ even the car has dsp, it doesn't really need to be plugged in and it can bypass by just plug in the 3 and 6 pins plugs.
So i just plugged it in the 3 and 6 pins plugs, on the Nav monitor it shows the songs playing on the ipod or iphone but no audio. even from the Aux!

I've tried to look for an answer on the forum, but no luck.
Please advice!!

Thanks!

Give the guys from Bavarian a call. Unless their customer service has changed, when I spoke with them 2 years ago on the phone they were helpful.

DSP Dillemma

I found my DSP by some quirk does not have a coaxial hook up. Without it I get no audio. I am replacing it with DSP 65129125751. My problem is I need the coaxial cable and no one seems to know the specs, even BMW. Can anyone look at their cable and give me the numbers?

It's possible that you can have DSP and NOT have a coaxial cable.

I have exactly that. 2007 Z4MC that has DSP but only has 4 pin and 6pin connections. Music plays fine.

There is a specific order to the install/initial power up of the mediabridge.... Read the instructions on this... Disconnect wires and reinstall/power up radio in correct sequence. Just went through this with my radio/mediabridge this morning when I was changing out radio to check a speaker issue... Lost my audio on BT but still had it on USB...

The issue can also happen if your DSP unit is bad...had that happen as well. Had to buy a new DSP unit to replace the unit which had gone bad due to radio/amp issue compatibility issue.
